BRAVES-METS: Felix Millan, Tony Gonzalez, and Rico Carty are hot. The Braves are my favorite team. There is no question that Tom Seaver is a fine pitcher, but Atlanta will knock some of the glitter off him by winning. 4-3. I'd bet my autographed picture of Jonny Logan and my Joe Torre autograph...
Adapting his own 1963 autobiographical novel about growing up as a black boy in the Kansas of the 1920s, Parks recollects the characters of his childhood as the sort of stereotypes that usually appear in elementary-school brotherhood pageants.

A kind of proletarian Harvard, it produced a long list of financiers, writers and scientists, including Bernard Baruch, Felix Frankfurter, Upton Sinclair, Lewis Mumford and Jonas Salk. As the flagship campus of the 15-college City University of New York, it now has 20,000 students...
