...follows a rigid routine. By 9:35 a.m. he is at his desk, once the desk of Sir Wilfrid Laurier, Canada's only other French Canadian Prime Minister (1896-1911). At lunchtime, he usually walks across the street alone (he has no bodyguard) to the staid and stark Rideau Club, where he customarily sits with other cabinet members at the "Ministers' Table." After lunch, he is in his office until about 6:30. Except on the hottest days St. Laurent works with his coat on. It is an unwritten rule that the 44 members of his staff shed theirs only...
...with his family, of whom he never tires. (On a New Brunswick holiday this summer, the St. Laurent party totaled 27 ?sons, daughters, in-laws and grandchildren.) In Quebec St. Laurent also finds time for golf (over 100), his only sport except flyfishing. At the Royal Quebec Golf Club one day this summer, St. Laurent went out without a caddy.

With the clink of gold, he signed up three of themf and he had the Adam's apple of a fourth bobbing like a pogo stick. The fourth man was Stan Musial...
Marion's bad back worries Eddie Dyer as much as the team's hitting and pitching. If all three stay in the groove, Dyer's only worry will be which American League club-the New York Yankees or Boston Red Sox-they will play in the World Series. Naturally, Dyer hopes it will be New York because the park there holds twice as many cash customers as Boston's, and that means the fattest possible World Series cut for the manager and his players...
