...impressive as Milwaukee's, but it is younger and has a good deal of depth. Harvey Haddix is the new left-hander, Vern Law and Ron Kline won 27 games between them last year, George Witt pitched half the season and had nine wins along with a 1.61 ERA, and Elroy Face, is the best reliefer in the league...

Certainly the ideals of a Dulles or an Adenauer should not and, hopefully, will not be sacrificed in an Era of Compromise-if such is forthcoming.

Manufacturers of bone combs were paying $1.25 for Indian skulls, and a white man's life was not worth much more...
