...would be dangerous to go either with a tired pitcher or with a stale one in Northeaster's tiny park. The left-field fence is about 250 feet from the plate and home runs are cheap.

The overstuffed husbands are hauled to a stadium in gaily draped trucks, then hoisted by a winch to a platform, where they are weighed in turn.

...Omar and Fatten now have a five-year-old son. At 31, he has long since become an Arabian film star nearly as celebrated as his wife, who is currently making her 80th picture, in Cairo. Since Sam Spiegel cast him in Lawrence, Omar has felt the pull of the West. He is now in Spain, ready to start work in Samuel Bronston's Fall of the Roman Empire. He plays an Armenian king who falls in love with Sophia Loren, beloved daughter of the Emperor Marcus Aurelius. "It is not a very long part," says Omar grandly...
