...insurance adjuster who picked up extra cash by giving electric-organ lessons on the side, the heavy-handed elder McLain was a semipro shortstop in his youth. He started Denny on his lessons early?both at the keyboard and on the diamond. Denny had trouble deciding which he liked best, the organ or baseball. "He'd be having a game in the park across the street," his mother remembers, "and he'd call Time!' and run into the house and play a couple of songs on the organ. Everybody would have to wait for him, and he'd play...
...that Denny brings in ought to add another $100,000 to the $35,000 salary the Tigers are paying McLain this year. And next year Denny plans to hit Tiger General Manager Campbell for a $65,000 raise?to an even $100,000. Yet despite the steady influx of cash, he continues to demonstrate his need for help by spending money as if it were going out of style. Just last month Denny was sued by Diners' Club Inc. and S. S.

...tempting merger plum. As befits Riklis' guiding philosophy-described as the art of buying companies with their own money-Glen Alden is paying for Schenley mostly with promissory paper.

Inevitably, some Schenley executives objected to Riklis' terms as a thinly camouflaged raid on Schenley's treasury. Of such...
...Time. Things can also go wrong, of course. Brunswick and AMF, for example, profited from the bowling boom in the '50s only to suffer later from competition from other pastimes. Still, dividends from the fun-and-games business do not always come in cash. "This is toy time," says Herbert J. Siegel, president of Chris-Craft. "If a guy can justify an acquisition by getting into the 'leisure time' market, he can have a good time." As Siegel himself undoubtedly does. He was chairman of Baldwin-Montrose Chemical Co. until last January, when, in a prelude...
...established figures like Buck Owens to newcomers such as Glen Campbell and John Hartford-are commanding national audiences. At the same time, pop performers, including Bob Dylan and the Byrds, are gravitating closer to the country style. "With better communications, there's more exposure of country music," says Cash. "I think people go back to it to find the basic thing, the grass roots. People like my songs, for instance, because there's realism in them, unlike most songs. They have true human emotion as well as being real stories...
