His quiet, classic plea for privacy extended even to Mrs. Pat Lawford, sister of President Kennedy and one of Marilyn's last close friends. When Marilyn's attorney complained that DiMaggio was keeping all her friends away, DiMaggio coldly answered: "If it weren't for those friends, she would still be alive."

At 41 and in his 21st big-league season, "Stan the Man" has survived long past a ballplayer's professional life expectancy. His contemporaries - Ted Williams, Joe DiMaggio, Mickey Owen, Jackie Robinson - are fishing, running bowling alleys, and collecting votes for the Hall of Fame. Yet Musial, his reflexes still sharp and his aging muscles still limber, keeps right on playing leftfield for the Cards with a young man's speed. And each time he uncoils from his familiar...
