Though he was one-for-seven on the day, the one was a homer in his last at-bat. His average going into the game was 438, and he led the Eastern College Athletic Conference in rbi's and home runs...

But Larkin and Cecil, literary mandarins though they were, turned out to have their fingers on the public pulse. Before she died, at 66, more than...
