Rookie right-handers Jim Beattie and Ken Clay combined to totally shut down the vaunted Royals' hitting attack, allowing just two hits. Beattie (6-9), who graduated from Dartmouth just two years ago, did not allow a hit until Al Cowens led off the Kansas City fifth with a loop single to center...
...plan appears to be to hand over the title of chief executive when he reaches 63 in 1980; presumably the heir would be Caldwell. The chairmanship would go two years later to Brother William Clay Ford, now 53, the owner of the Detroit Lions; Henry brought him into the top management last June.

As the show's guest curator, Hayden Herrera, points out in her warmly sympathetic catalogue essay, clay is "the oldest material for art and an emphatically primitive, even primal substance." (The first sculpture of a man, as every reader of Genesis knows, was made from clay when God modeled Adam.) Clay is earth, and Frank's figures of sprawling nudes and entwined lovers, tenderly dislocated, are clearly meant to be seen as emanations of the earth, concretions of place and appetite...
