...cherubic face, easy grin and mild-mannered, professorial air still conceal his intellect from casual acquaintances. But a discussion of opera-or early Bing Crosby-will set him off, as will any mention of Augustine, Nixon, Sophocles or the Baltimore Colts. With his wife and three children, he is quite happily settled in a modest home in a Baltimore suburb built largely to the postwar specifications of G.I. loans...
Best of Breed. If Billstown has not changed much in the 15 years since he left, Campbell has. His voice still flows as smoothly as freshly skimmed cream, but the twang is tuned down and the phrasing is tuned up. The result is really a mild blend of pop, country, and a touch of rock.

Such others as Roger Miller, John Hartford and Jerry...

Some authorities believe that environment plays a significant role in the child's choice of handedness, while others maintain that heredity is all. Little is known about the problem beyond the fact that the left-hander must learn to fend for himself in a world that seldom pays any heed to his special needs. Production lines grind out an endless assortment of tools and equipment designed solely for the righthander, with only occasional exceptions for lefty. Left-handed golf clubs can be found, but usually they must be specially ordered...
