...better half. Sounds of Silence with its kaleidoscopic imagery was the title tune of their big 1965 album, which also had the gentleness of April Come She Will. Two of the new songs, On the Strip and Mrs. Robinson, are bright and bouncy, but the others, Sun-porch Cha-cha-cha, The Folks and The Singleman Party Foxtrot, don't quite measure...
This season Cepeda batted .325, clouted 25 homers and drove in 111 runs-tops in the National League. He also appointed himself a sort of team psychiatrist-playing cha-cha records in the clubhouse to dispel the gloom after losses, leading the club in cheers after each St. Louis victory.

...strength of the Vietnamese rail road lies with its plucky engineers, Oriental Casey Joneses who have spent as much as 20 years red-balling the route from Saigon to Hue. Engineer Tran Chan Cha, 46, has steamed the Danang-Hue run since the days of the Indo-China war, has been blown up so often that today he is nearly stone-deaf. Engineer Nguyen Tran Lo, 48, has been ambushed some 50 times, wears a Buddhist good-luck medallion under his faded blue uniform. When Lo's yellow and green diesel rumbles north from Saigon...
