...didn't lift a bat on behalf of his old teammates, but the standing ovation he got from 20,980 fans at Yankee Stadium made it clear that they were delighted to have him back anyway. Wearing his old No. 7 uniform, Mickey Mantle last week began his new career as batting, outfield (and sometimes first-base) coach with the team he helped lead to twelve pennants in 18 years. What brought the 38-year-old Oklahoman-now a restaurant and clothing-chain executive-back into the pinstripes? Mantle simply missed baseball. "If I could still play," he sighed...

Yet he learned to keep his drives straight and developed a deadly accurate short game. There...
...medical aide (GS-2) makes $4,125 to start, and a typist (GS-3) $5,212. There are virtually no merit increases, and the periodic raises within each category are small. It would take 18 years for a worker who starts as a G56 administrative assistant to lift his salary from $7,294 to $9,481 if he does not move up to a higher job grade...
