Anybody who tries to formulate some "definitive" conclusions about the 1959 Harvard baseball team, when it still has five games left on its schedule, ought to have his head examined. Such an attempt represents a most flagrant instance of that hazardous occupation known as Climbing-Out-on-a-Limb. And it is only with a weather eye on the ground below that this writer dares venture out even a few inches toward the uncertain fringes...
...down the mild-reforming Kennedy labor bill, which rolled through the Senate (TIME, May 4) and is due up soon in the House. While Hoffa's aides in Washington were buttonholing Congressmen in an effort to kill or soften the bill-aimed principally at the Teamsters' own flagrant abuses of power-Boss Hoffa popped into Nashville to blow the horn not only on the legislation but on his archenemy, A.F.L.-C.I.O.

Last week the pair conspired to set off one of the most harrowing riots in the recent years of trouble in the nation's prisons...
...Vatican decree did not specifically mention excommunication, though it referred to the 1949 decree. Except in the most flagrant cases, offenders will be guilty only of grave sin against the church. But the decree is binding on Catholics everywhere, and it produced a strong reaction in Italy. Right-wingers were delighted ("A helpful clarification." purred one news agency), and left-wingers, who had welcomed the election of Cardinal Roncalli as a "liberal" Pope, were dismayed. Commented Rome's fellow-traveling newspaper Paese Sera: "We thought Pope John was a Pope of new coinage, but now he has raised...
