...Yastrzemski. What does one say? He is apart. He came to bat after Adair, and one took pleasure, even in his patient preparation. In the on-deck circle, two bats swirling around the shoulders, above the head in an ashwood ceremony of prayer and promise. Meticulous attention to every detail...
...biggest changes at Chevrolet is the Corvette. Rakishly restyled, with a body 7 in. longer than present models', the '68 Corvette has high-backed seats, hideaway windshield wipers and jet-age gizmos like the "spoiler"-a raised airflow deflector that adds a decorative touch to the rear deck, also helps reduce the danger of spin-outs at high speeds...

Commissioned an ensign in the Navy in 1943, he applied for the Small Craft Training Center in Miami. The Navy, in its infinite wisdom, sent him to radar school instead, but Bus finally wrangled a transfer to the carrier Liscome Bay-a transfer that fell through when doctors found he had a hernia...
