When he broke off a legal skirmish with his wife and returned to baseball, Ted found the Sox in seventh place; at week's end they were in fourth, only 3½ games off the pace. Though Ted's big bat was a factor in the resurgence of the Red Sox, most of the credit goes to their little (5 ft. 6 in., 150 lbs.) shortstop, Billy Klaus.

Nevertheless, TVA was hard pressed to meet the priority needs of two atomic energy plants and keep pace with the mid-South population and industrial growth. Instead of ignoring TVA's needs (as had been done in the 1953 budget), Dodge decided that he could either 1) request $100 million in the 1955 budget for a new TVA steam plant, which Congress had already rejected twice...
