His contemporaries - Ted Williams, Joe DiMaggio, Mickey Owen, Jackie Robinson - are fishing, running bowling alleys, and collecting votes for the Hall of Fame. Yet Musial, his reflexes still sharp and his aging muscles still limber, keeps right on playing leftfield for the Cards with a young man's speed.

Instead, as represented by some featherweight personalities out of Warner's TV training camp, American youth is merely sullen, sadistic and sex-obsessed. "This is my bedroom, in case you get lost," says Connie (Hawaiian Eye) Stevens, a limber branch of the Jukes family tree, just half a minute after she meets Donahue.
