...team's first line of strength lies in its batting. Left fielder Grey Peters leads the squad with an astronomical .714 average: for those who appreciate the complicated mathematics of "slugging" averages, his is a lofty 1.355. In 22 trips to the plate this season, he has reached base 21 times...
...Arturo Illia, 63, an obscure back-country physician, took office in Argentina amid a wave of good will and relief. At the time a foreign diplomat said: "The best thing Dr. Illia could do is to do nothing for six years."

And four of these-Bart of the Times, Kaselow of the Tribune, Charles Sievert of the World-Telegram and Jack O'Dwyer of the Journal-American-appear in New York City,*where the Madison Avenue...
...pieces deal with race relations; the fourth is on Jews in the Soviet Union. Every issue of Mosaic ever published has probably had a similar article. More importantly, a certain dullness prevades the magazine. The prose stays consistently at a drab, B-level. Nothing sparkles, nothing excites between these grey covers...
