Life in Brooklyn was tough enough for the Dodgers' fireballing pitcher, Don Newcombe. His good right arm ached all summer long and the doctors could find little wrong; opposition batters were beginning to tag him, and he wound up the 1957 season with a dismal record of eleven victories and twelve defeats. He was almost ready to believe the unkind critics who maintained that he lost his stuff in the clutch. Then things got worse. The Dodgers moved to Los Angeles, and Big Newk (6 ft. 4 in.) began to worry himself witless over the prospect of being forced...

Eighteen years before he assisted in the case of the youngest: Lina Medina, pregnant at the age of five years, eight months; mother, by Caesarean section, of a normal boy at the age of six years, five months (TIME...
...trace of an adman's use of "subliminal perception" in a pitch to the viewer's subconscious mind (TIME, Nov. 18). one TV station announced that it has been trying the technique for two months. WTWO in Bangor, Me. superimposes the suggestion "Write W-TWO" once every eleven seconds on certain of its TV shows, in a flash too swift for conscious perception. The station promised to keep FCC posted on the experiment; so far, a spokesman admitted, the results in the station's mail volume have been as subliminal as the message. But the trade weekly...
