...Egghead (by Molly Kazan) is a contemporary play about a not-very-contemporary-minded professor. Hank Parson is full of high-minded intolerances, grants his seemingly dumb wife the freedom of thought to agree with him, chants ancient war cries while ignoring current wars. Then the FBI comes investigating a favorite former student of his, a brilliant Negro. Certain that the student is not a Communist and equally certain why he is being smeared as one, Parson rushes to his defense and brings him to the college to speak. All too soon, by way of his wife's sleuthing...
...coup also made him the first pitcher in 52 years to score two shutouts in a single Series, first ever to shut out the Yankees in two Series games. It was all the more impressive because the Braves gave Burdette remarkably little help at bat. Although Centerfielder Hank Aaron hit three home runs and a total of eleven hits (one less than the Series record), the new champions together set a record as the lowest-hitting team ever to win a seven-game Series (average...
...glance; sometimes the camera almost stole the catchers' signals. In the third game, 17 hits squirted about the landscape while the Yankees belittled the Braves, 12-3.

That won it for the Braves, 7 to 5, and bought...

Such paladins of power and profit as Physicist John Gait, Steelmaker Hank Rearden, Billionaire Francisco d'Anconia all have noble, proudly lifted heads, clear blue (or green) eyes, frank, open expressions. Such blackguards as traitorous Businessman Orren Boyle, Bureaucrat Cuffy Meigs, Parasite Philip Rearden have eyes that are "pale and veiled" or "small black slits" or "blurred brown"; they can never...
...Braves won their fourth game of the series in an explosive third inning, when they scored four runs. With one out, Bob Hazle singled to left, followed with another single by Johnny Logan. Both Logan and Hazle then scored on a double by Eddie Mathews. Mathews was followed by Hank Aaron, who reached first on a hit to center; the two Braves, Aaron and Mathews, strengthened the Braves' margin when they crossed the plate on a Texas League single by Wes Covington...
