...with each member of the royal family playing his or her role. Elizabeth is perforce the straight man in the act, who underdoes everything with a flawlessness that creates its own suspense. At the other extreme, and refreshingly so, is her husband, Prince Philip, who looks remarkably like Stan Musial and is a self-confessed expert in the art of "don-topedalogy," as he calls it: opening his mouth and putting his foot in it. The Queen Mother is everybody's baby sitter. Lord Snowdon and Princess Margaret are the scandalous bohemians; they actually stay out late at night, have...
...into the leftfield bleachers. With that hit, Banks became the 17th player in baseball history to drive in 1,500 or more runs. Last week Ernie belted the 480th homer of his career (he is tenth on the list of alltime home-run hitters, just ahead of Stan Musial) and a double against the Los Angeles Dodgers to take over the league lead in RBIs...
...only one point when they met in Miami Beach: the new commissioner should come from "inside baseball." Kuhn, 42, the attorney for the National League since 1950, was so far inside that he was lost in the shuffle of names mentioned for the job, which included everyone from Stan Musial to Hubert Humphrey.

When he finally hung up his spikes in 1963 after 22 wonderful years with the St. Louis Cardinals, Stan Musial, 47, explained that he wanted to "go out while still an asset." That's certainly how Stan the Man wound up his first season as general manager of his old ball club, helping the Cards climb from the National League's second division to a World Series victory over the Boston Red Sox. Now Stan is stepping down again. He has to devote full time to his restaurant and hotel business since the death of his partner. Taking...
...know we've got a chance for the pennant, but we're not making any fuss over it," says Manager Albert ("Red") Schoendienst, 44, longtime star second baseman and Stan Musial's roommate for 13 years while both were playing for the Cardinals. But then, Schoendienst never does make a fuss. And his permissive approach to managing is the perfect prescription for the Cards-especially for such key men as Cepeda and Maris, both of whom came to the team tagged as sulkers and malingerers. No longer. Explains Maris: "I like it here. The pressure...
