...best-selling (41,000 copies at $17.50) Portraits of Greatness, which was published last winter. Sir Winston Churchill alone still appears twice-in the celebrated 1942 defiant portrait that Karsh achieved by audaciously snitching the grumpy Churchill's cigar from his mouth, and in a 1955 elder statesman pose. "Sir Winston is the greatest man in a thousand years," says Karsh...
...never touches the hard stuff, and keeps his hairy hands off the Pirates. Murtaugh realizes full well that overmanaging would cramp the egos-and crimp the play-of the bunch of oddly assorted personalities he has nursed to maturity as ballplayers: Pitcher Vernon Law (19-8), a pious Mormon elder; Third Baseman Don Hoak (.277), a sulphur-mouthed ex-Marine and ex-middleweight boxer; Shortstop Dick Groat, the intense, introspective team captain (now sidelined by a broken left wrist); and Right Fielder Roberto Clemente (.320), a showboating Puerto Rican.

A few years later young Hans and his brother Ambrosius were seeking their fortunes as artists in Basel, which, largely because of the presence of the great Dutch scholar Erasmus, was soon to call itself "the city of humanists." Once the young Hans so flattered Erasmus with a portrait sketch that the aging celibate declared if he really looked that good, he would go right out and marry. Ambrosius is believed to have died around the age of 25, leaving Hans...
