...fielding was sub par, and he struck out too often by going after bad pitches. In sporadic appearances with the Senators, he got into only 113 games in five years, hit a lowly .224. This season Yost was gone (in a trade with Detroit), and Manager Cookie Lavagetto tried nine other candidates before settling on Killebrew. But once the season began, Killebrew took dead aim on the fences, in the space of twelve days hit two homers in each of four games. In the field he still has a bad habit of spearing balls one-handed. But his batting average...
...year-olds each year; no more than 40 are accepted. Bolshoi students get full board and tuition, wear traditional uniforms that vary with their ages, e.g., blue shirts and red ties for the younger boys, black-and-brown dresses and orange ties for the girls. Their rigid course takes nine years, with up to five hours of practice a day. On graduation day the students enter the state examination room, called by the school's Director Helen Bocharni-kova "the most terrifying place in Moscow," and dance for the choreographers of all Russia's major ballet theaters.

In 1958 the Dallas rate soared 41% to 480 married students (including nine in grade schools), compared to 286 in 1957 and 72 in 1953. Though one somewhat tardy student was aged 27, last year's marrying kind were mainly (66%) aged 17 or younger, with three 13 or younger. Among them, they had 72 children...
Warlock (20th Century-Fox) is a two-hour, $2,000,000 western with three major stars (Richard Widmark, Henry Fonda, Anthony Quinn), two main heroes, two main villains, three main plots, five subplots, eight cooling corpses, and nine major outbreaks of violence. Hero No. 1 (Fonda), a sort of Good Bad Guy, is a notorious gunman who wears gold-handled Colts. The townspeople of Warlock ask him to protect them from Villain No. 1 (Tom Drake), a Bad Bad Guy with a slow sneer, a fast draw, and plenty of sneaking dry-gulchers on his payroll. Unfortunately, Hero...
