Complete Plan. In closed-door secrecy, the U.S.'s Acting Secretary of State Christian Herter, Britain's Foreign Secretary Selwyn Lloyd, France's Foreign Minister Maurice Couve de Murville, and West Germany's Foreign Minister Heinrich von Brentano went over proposals developed by their hard-working careermen. Britain's Lloyd said he thought that the West should offer some concession to the U.S.S.R. to lure the Kremlin into detailed talks on Germany; then, with Russian interest whetted, suggest some concessions by the Communists. Couve de Murville and Von Brentano said they thought the West should...
...Detroit Tigers. Detroit has a large flock of excellent players, but in the past they have not all been able to have good years simultaneously. However, players like Harvey Kuenn, Al Kaline, Frank Bolling, Frank Lary, Jim Bunning, Paul Foytack, Billy Hoeft, Ray Narleski and Don Mossi will be hard to keep down forever. The Tiger's big weakness is revealed immediately by the above listing: the infield...
...glory as eminently actable as Falstaff himself: Harry Hotspur, who is both the noble avatar of chivalry gone out-of-date, and a very young man full of appealing foibles. In this role Thomas Weisbuch is properly brisk and explosive, but even from Row D his words are often hard to understand; worse, he lacks both the charm of boyish buoyancy that should make Hotspur irresistible, and the trumpet-tongued grandeur requisite to his mounting "esperance...
Cincinnati's fate lies with Don Newcombe who should have forgotten about the '56 world series by now. If Newk can come back and head an otherwise average pitching staff of Brooks Lawrence, Joe Nuxhall, Bob Purkey, and rookie Jim O'Toole, the Reds could be very hard to beat. Their infield of Frank Robinson on first (where his fielding is still a question), Johnny Temple (.306) at second, Roy McMillan at short, and the slugger Frank Thomas at third is almost equal to Pittsburgh's. GusBell, Jerry Lynch, and Vada Pinson (the best looking rookie in the league) rank...
...Louis is in trouble and will have a hard time finishing higher than fifth. Manager Solly Hemus lost his best pitcher, Jones, to the Giants and has little to replace him. Vinegar Bend Mizell and Larry Jackson are only so-so and behind them, there is little besides a highly touted rookie, Ernie Broglio. Hard-hitting Joe Cunningham (.312) is set at first as is Don Blasingame at second. There is a gaping hole at short which may have to be filled with Alex Grammas, who would have trouble hitting .300 in the Little Leagues. Ken Boyer, an almost-great...
