Today, thanks largely to Maurice Podoloff, every team in the N.B.A. is making money; for five months of work, players draw salaries that range from a rookie's $4,500 to Bob Cousy's better than $20,000. From California to the East Coast, new towns are eager for franchises. Perhaps the surest proof of the N.B.A.'s success and the caliber of its players is that club owners want to expand their league but cannot find on college courts enough good players to match their pros...
With 28 medical clinic designs behind him, Seattle's Paul Hayden Kirk, 42, has emerged as the West Coast architect who can design just what the doctors order.

Lema's leap was just the kind of accidental clowning that the crowd had come...
...Ferrer makes his pitch at a meeting of the network's top brass, throwing them a soft sell, very sincere, about how he would conduct the full hour, coast-to-coast memorial show being planned for the dead man as "a portrait in sound of the common man magnified." As the camera plays on the alert faces of the brass, each attentive but ready to cut off the speaker's head at the first false note, it is plain that Ferrer's fate is riding on the words he is improvising. When he finishes, the boss breaks...
