Beneath the socks, shirts and underwear were bundles of papers-stock certificates, bank-deposit slips, property deeds, and memoranda of commissions squeezed over the years from companies doing business with his government...
...exile, Pérez Jiménez lived in style. He bought a $400,000 Miami Beach mansion with swimming pool, cabanas and royal palms. He did a bit of loafing, broke out his bow and arrow for archery practice, gave a few parties, junketed off to Manhattan.

Giant Quarterback Y. A. ("Yat") Tittle is this year...
...points a game. To spearhead the awesome (30 points per game) Packer attack. Lombardi boasts the league's most accurate passer. Quarterback Starr, who has completed 64f'f of his passes this season. He has the N.F.L.'s top ground gainer (1.318 yds.) in Jim Taylor, an oak-ribbed fullback who never runs around a defender when he can run over him and is a strong candidate for 1962-3 Most Valuable Player...
