Then the alarmists cite the example of the San Francisco Giants' Juan Marichal, who had a bit of bad luck after appearing on our cover (June 10). But he finished the season as one of the two best pitchers in the league. What about Hank Bauer? His Baltimore Orioles seemed to have the pennant locked up, until the Sept. 11, 1964 cover, after which they lost half their games. Jinxed by TIME? "I don't believe in that stuff," growls Bauer. He was named Manager of the Year in 1964, and his team proved unjinxable earlier this month...
...called the Don Juan of the Slanted Eyes. He disrobed an era of Montparnasse models and claims to have painted 3,000 nudes. He once tattooed a watch on his wrist and a ring on his finger; when wealthier, he capped the radiator of his chauffeur-driven automobile with a Rodin bronze. He arrived in France from Japan in 1913 wearing a purple morning coat and a pith helmet; eleven years later he was the most fashionable painter in Paris. Tsugouharu Foujita, now 79, is a living souvenir of the days when the School of Paris was in kindergarten...

Airlifted from the east coast almost to the Cambodian border in less than twelve hours, the 1st Air Cav proceeded to rout the enemy in a battle "larger than San Juan Hill and El Caney combined, bigger and more impressive than Pork Chop Hill, bloodier than Cantigny, and lasting as long as Belleau Wood."* Yet that fight, Marshall notes incredulously in the current New Leader, did not rate a single lead headline in any U.S. newspaper...
...gang of toughs invaded the British consulate at Rosario and burned a portrait of Queen Victoria. In Buenos Aires, eight shots were fired at the shuttered windows of the British embassy, where Prince Philip had just arrived for a three-week goodwill visit. To calm the uproar, President Juan Carlos Ongania issued an announcement declaring that while the islands were the rightful property of Argentina, the government would stand for no violence to enforce its claims...
...come. The San Francisco Giants were not only dead; they had been buried for a month. Still, Manager Herman Franks kept insisting: "I've got a funny feeling that we're going to win this thing." It didn't sound quite so funny after Juan Marichal ran his season's record to 25-6 by beating the Pirates 5-4 in the first half of a doubleheader in Pittsburgh. And it was anything but humorous when Bob Bolin pitched a one-hitter against the Pirates in the nightcap and shut them out 2-0-thereby embalming...
