...police power in a native Fascist regime. But it is Actor White-a British trouper usually cast as a potty colonel, a flaccid vicar, or a dear old rose fiend in Sussex-who domi nates the audience as a waving cobra fascinates a mouse.

Whitey Ford had just won his ninth straight game and lifted the Yankees into first place in the American League-for at least a few hours-by setting down the Detroit Tigers...
