...year he edges a little farther away. In the old days, he forgot to put articles in his English ("I had best steak of my life in Cleveland airport"); now he speaks it fluently. He has recently gone out of his way to make a second career as a duo pianist, sharing the billing with St. Louisian Malcolm Frager. And though still wryly withdrawn, he has lately come to admit that he likes Americans in general: "The applause is so nice; American audiences are so very, very warm...

Without the Dodgers, of course, Koufax and Drysdale cannot play baseball -unless they are traded. Nonetheless, the "dynamic duo," as sportswriters like to call them, so far are not budging. In fact, they claim that they are not even training, which means that they could not be ready to play until well past the season opener next month. Last week, in a display designed to prove that failure to eat out of O'Malley's hand does not mean starvation, they signed with Paramount Pictures to work in a movie (Drysdale as a TV commentator, Koufax...
