While Kennedy cannonballed, McCarthy's campaign seemed to be suffering from what he likes to call "acedia" -spiritual torpor. He displayed perhaps his best form of the week when he joined a pepper game with reporters outside a Muncie Westinghouse plant and poled three line drives practically out of the factory grounds. More than normally disorganized, McCarthy appeared late for speeches, found his audience sparse and unresponsive. Part of the problem was financial. Though he does not lack for potential campaign contributors, the Minnesotan's nonchalance in seeking funds has left his forces with $100,000 in debts...
During spring training, while other baseball announcers were playing the usual guessing game about the outcome of the season, Broun was ruminating about one of the finer points of the game. "Legend placed the fountain of youth in Florida," he reported, "and coaches like Tony Cuccinello here, hitting his billionth fungo, suggest that the legend is true. With the fungo bat, an instrument as thin as a diplomat's umbrella, Cuccinello and other artists can place a ball just where a perspiring fatty can't quite grasp it.

Other environmentalists see their works as means to engage the viewer in a new kind of emotional release. New York's Tony Martin, who designed light displays for San Francisco's Fillmore Auditorium and Manhattan's Electric Circus, is currently showing his Game Room in Manhattan's Howard Wise Gallery.

After three years in the minors, during which he lost more games (30) than he won (28) but struck out 496 bat ters in 467 innings, Koosman won a spot in the Mets' rotation this spring. In his first game, he shut out the Los Angeles Dodgers, 4-0; in his second, he whiffed Willie Mays with the bases loaded ("It was no great thrill") and blanked the San Francisco Giants, 3-0. "I'll challenge any hitter around," says Jerry, "as long as my fastball holds up and I have a curve that can keep them...
...anyone hasn't heard of The Pajama Game--like he's been simmering in a bubble bath since Douglas MacArthur flew home--it should be noted that, by virtue of its terribly attractive songs and its breathtakingly blemishless book, the show ranks rather high in its chosen category. For reasons already labored, and because of a virtuoso turn on the part of Peter Larson, who came late to the job of providing an orchestra, the production ranks almost equally high...
