...most unique trade in baseball history," Susanne had gigglingly called it when the press learned that her husband, Yankee Pitcher Mike Kekich, and his best buddy, Yankee Pitcher Fritz Peterson, had exchanged wives. The new arrangement did not take, and Mike ended up losing not only Susanne, his kids, Fritz and Fritz's wife-but his dog as well. The final blow: Mike himself was bartered last week to the Cleveland Indians for Minor League Pitcher Lowell Palmer...
...TIME'S hymn of praise to Sir Georg Solti is in effect a rhapsodic tribute to the Chicago Symphony and to its master builder, Fritz Reiner. When Reiner arrived in Chicago in the early 1950s, the orchestra that had been shaped so nobly by Frederick ("Papa") Stock had fallen on hard times. Maestro Reiner changed all that.

After arranging the purchase of Newsweek for one of his best clients, the Post Co., Beebe abandoned his law practice to become chairman of the board in 1961.

In recent years, only George Szell and the Cleveland Orchestra have approached the august virtuosity, combustible power and quartet-like intimacy that...
Indoor addicts claim that electronic golf helps their game. "I've improved my accuracy and added 20 yards to all my iron shots," boasts Fritz Marchu, who plays at Golf-O-Rama three nights a week. Golf Pro Bob Johnson attributes the improvements to the fact that "a golfer is less ball conscious." The golfer knows he cannot lose his ball and thus concentrates more on his swing...
