Maccoby realizes this, of course, and does a neat job of ignoring it. The book, he maintains, is only a psychological profile, not a definitive tome on American business practices. And to an extent, he is right: as a psychologist, he deals in the abstract, approaching society with a precise scientific manner that far outclasses the pat ramblings of pop sociologists such as Vance Packard and Alvin Toffler. His findings are interesting, and certainly valuable for their portrayal of the different types of drives that keep the engine of the American economy running.

...from all sides, Lance moved last week to ease the strain in at least one area-his precarious financial position. He put on the selling block his posh Northside Atlanta home, purchased in 1975 for $400,000 and fondly dubbed "Butterfly Manna" by LaBelle. Asking price: a neat $2 million.

KAHN WEAVES all of these different contests into a neat pile of friendly but telling stories, a chronicle of a baseball season spent roaming the country with the boys and the boys-turned-men who make up baseball. There is Walter O'Malley, cigar-puffing grandee of the Los Angeles Dodgers. And Stan Musial, of the .330 lifetime average and undying fame. Then there is Artie Wilson of the Negro Leagues, who outshone Jackie Robinson and won only mildly-regretted obscurity, and Early Wynn, the Hall of Fame pitcher who threw at the head of any batter who stood between...
