...White Sox, they've stopped. Despite Floyd Robinson and Joe Cunningham, Chicago is sixth in team batting (.253) and has only 65 homers, the lowest total in the majors by far. Finally, even the great Luis Aparicio has slowed up; White Sox speed is a thing of the past...

In 1958, the first time he ever handled a big, 12-meter America's Cup yacht, Bus took venerable Vim-oldest (by 19 years) boat in the U.S. trials -all the way to the finals before he was nosed out by Corny Shields and Briggs Cunningham in Columbia.

It told something of a story, a bit of a romance, with all the humor and the farce of a flirtation.
