Only when he was safely atop the Silverthorn Ice Corridor of 11,452-ft. Mount Athabasca in Alberta could Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau, 62, finally take a breather during his vacation. He has been on a two-week cross-country trip in a private railway car, and from the start in Vancouver the Prime Minister was met at virtually every stop along the way by picketers, protesters and assorted Trudeauphobes, who screamed obscenities and lustily pelted his railway car with eggs and tomatoes.

For all we know, he is still looking for his roost...
...pleasures of stadium collecting (specifically for those who have thrown out their bubble gum cards), the difference between those who watch batting practice and those who don't, and Boswell's own youth, in which his father, who worked at the Library of Congress, smuggled him into a dingy corridor and told him. "Okay, Here is every book on baseball ever written Don't go blind." Amusing and fascinating as well are brief sketches of many of the sport's characters--the "Zen master" Red Carew, the wonderfully honest Pete Rose, and the Darth Vader of the Major Leagues, Steve...
