...freshman pilot Darrell Johnson has pulled this spring. Last season Juan was tried at short, where he tied an American League record for most errors in consecutive games. His throws had a knack for missing Yaz at first, and most folks were giving up on him as a major-leaguer...
When a blonde ex-Junior Leaguer named Sally Quinn admitted during a job interview at the Washington Post that she had never actually written anything, the executive editor joked, "Well, nobody's perfect." Nevertheless, Ben Bradlee hired her and carefully molded her into a Post feature writer.

Even sillier, the afternoon edition comes out with virtually the same material, but with the order of the banner reversed: instead of the morning Boston Herald Traveler and Boston Record American, it's the Boston Record American and Boston Herald Traveler. And the Luftwaffer eagle...
