Pirate Plugs. Even before devaluation, the new Poujadists had found a new Poujade. He is Gerard Nicoud, a 24-year-old cafe owner who last spring launched a shopkeepers' movement at La Tour-du-Pin in France's southeastern Dauphine province. His slogan: "A class that does not defend itself is condemned to death...
...Catholics, will soon outnumber the Dutch-descended, Afrikaans-speaking Calvinists, who have increasingly dominated South African politics since the 1930s. In any event, Vorster's immigration effort seems doomed. Current projections indicate that by the year 2000, there will be 70 nonwhites to every white in South Africa. Even today, white South Africans total only 3,600,000, compared with 13 million blacks and 1,800,000 half-castes, or "Coloreds." To add to his sins, Vorster has tried to lure English-speaking South Africans into the Nationalist Party...
...Andre are going to give this baby the right kind of love and devotion. That's the whole point, isn't it?" said the prospective grandmother, Actress Maureen O'Sullivan.

Not even the umpire, for instance, knew that Batter Cleon Jones had been hit on the foot by a pitch -until Manager Gilbert Hodges produced the ball with shoe blacking on it. Some said that Hodges had carried that smudged ball in his pocket all season long, waiting for the wonderful moment when...
...plate and put the Orioles behind, three games to one. In the final game the Oriole pitcher and first baseman conspired to commit two errors on a single play (shades of Marvelous!) to permit the last, poetic Met run to score. The Oriole manager, a stocky fellow named Weaver, even began to look and act like a funny old fellow named Casey Stengel, who used to run the Mets. During the fourth game, in a transport of fury, Weaver was banished from the field. But nothing could hide the awful fact that the Oriole power had failed. Their heralded hitters...
