...home openers, then walloped the ball off the wall in left-center to give Chicago its second run. Fisk undoubtedly enjoys his visits to Fenway Park. Yesterday he went two for three with a walk and an RBI, and in last year's opener he had a three-run homer in the eighth to give the White...

The resulting novel, The Portage to San Cristóbal of A.H., has already aroused angry controversy in Britain ("Astonishing," Anthony Burgess wrote in the Observer, but the New Statesman charged "subversive admiration for Hitler").
