...panels from upper right to lower left, in a diagonal line through the center, sum up the action of the pitch. It's sort of a slow-motion sequence. It's what you see at the ball game. The action shown in the other panels happens too fast for most persons to see. I decided on nine panels because there are nine innings in a baseball game and nine players on a team. The panels are in threes because there are three outs to an inning, and also-it's three strikes...
...Fast as He Feels. Just how fast Marichal's fastball travels when he does throw it is a subject of mild controversy. "Slower than Koufax's" is a common comment, but the truth is: as fast as he feels like throwing it. One National League hitter claims to have counted ten different speeds, and few batters have ever seen Marichal really cut loose. Cincinnati's John Edwards is one of the privileged few. After Marichal struck him out with the bases loaded last week, Giants Coach Charlie Fox noted that "Edwards obviously knew those fastballs were coming...
...roll back the maximum interest to 5% on C.D.s of less than $10,000. House Banking Committee Chairman Wright Patman wants to outlaw all C.D.s on the ground that they have become "financial monsters."

Induction quotas are up threefold over last year; 319,887 men have been called in the past eleven months, another 150,000 are expected to go in the next year. The pool of single 26-, 25-and 24-year-olds is fast being depleted. Local draft boards are digging deeper into their files, searching for 23-, 22-and 21-year-olds. And there stands the Class of '66. Careers dangle in doubt; weddings are postponed; even hard-earned degrees suddenly seem to symbolize futility more than achievement. Add to that the chaotic...
...merger comes off, Bassine will have quite a chore. Korvette's furniture division sags with losses; its supermarkets barely break even, though Ferkauf says they are now "trending upwards." Privately, Ferkauf concedes that his empire was built too fast on a shaky foundation. The business was also damaged by its taking on some expensive airs. It tried simultaneously to upgrade its merchandise, add costly services, dress up its stores, and make expensive pushes into such distant cities as Detroit, Chicago and Baltimore. As a result, it hit wall-to-wall competition from established stores and supermarkets...
