Given firmness and understanding, said the President, there was hope for Geneva. "The people of all the world desire peace . . . [They] do not want to go to the battlefield; they want to live in peace-not a peace that is a mere stilling of the guns but a peace in which they can live happily in tranquillity, in confidence that they can raise their children in a world of which they will be proud.

...went Manager Eddie ("The Brat") Stanky, in came Manager Harry ("The Hat") Walker, a hustling player-manager from the Cardinals' Rochester farm who, Busch hoped, would give the team-and Budweiser sales-a lift. As for rumors that Busch is about to sell out, he purples at the mere suggestion, denies the rumors as "dirty, mean stories," hints that his competitors planted them to embarrass...
