...married," Gloria, herself a onetime child-custody pawn, disclosed that she once warned Stokie in a letter: "I do not want my boys exposed to your paranoid attitudes." In rejoinder, the maestro tartly accused Gloria of absentee motherism, late to bed and late to rise, traipsing out for dinner, often missing lunch with the children because she "makes morning visits to her psychiatrist and returns home...
...headquarters in Geneva's "Batiment Electoral." Landing in Geneva, Gromyko made a pithy statement specifically prepared to make pithy headlines. After that, in his dealings with the press, Gromyko set out to prove himself an amiable man of peace, erase the image of the sullen spokesman who so often barked nyet at the U.N. Security Council.

His 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...
