Desperate Hours. Since the landings, Admiral Holloway's diplomatic-military talents have been kept minute-to-minute busy, put to many a test. He gets up aboard his electronics-crammed command ship Taconic about 6 a.m., keeps on the move until past midnight, has found spare time only to write four letters to London to his second wife-last January he married Josephine Kenney, the widow of a naval officer who had served with him in BuPers-and to drop down from admiral's country to see an occasional shipboard movie. Title of one movie: The Desperate Hours...

One opposition member foresaw some unexpected consequences. "We say," he began, "that...
...after examining his vision, advised him to quit baseball. But Ryne persisted, finally licked his wildness with the help of Manager Lefty O'Doul at Vancouver in 1956. "He taught me to aim at the catcher's knee, at his shoulder, at his belt," says Duren. "To move it around, one ball high and away, the next low and inside. I tried and it worked." With Denver last year Duren pitched a no-hitter in his first start, had a 13-2 mark, walked only 33 men in 114 innings...
