...Bouton out of the bullben and Bouton quickly became the Yank's (and the League's) hottest hurler. Al Downing, a young fastballer who had been unimpressive in two previous Major League trials, was summoned from Richmond and pitched a two-hitter in his first game. Harry Bright, a ne'er-do-well for several clubs, transformed into a 300 hitter when Houk put Yankee pin-stripes...

Five Miles to Midnight. Sophia Loren and Tony Perkins in a thriller about a ne'er-do-well who escapes from a plane wreck and involves his wife in a plot to collect his life insurance. It is good, solid, black-and-white suspense stuff...
