...official County Witch?a title conferred by the County Supervisor on Mrs. Louise Huebner, a thirtyish "third-generation astrologer and sixth-generation witch." Sorceress Huebner, who affects clinging outfits of silver for her increasingly frequent broadcasts and public appearances, made her official debut last July at a folk festival in the Hollywood Bowl, at which everyone was supplied with red candles, garlic and chalk and instructed to repeat after her three times: "Light the flame, bright the fire, red the color of desire."

That combination, plus his aw-shucks, farm-boy manner, made Mighty Mick an instant folk hero. In his first 14 seasons, he led the Yankees to a remarkable twelve pennant victories, won the Most Valuable Player award three times and the triple crown once, in 1956, when he batted .353, slammed 52 home runs and drove in 130 runs. His lifetime mark of 536 homers...
