...culottes, evening gowns and leggings. Taking even greater lib erties, the furriers are dyeing skins col ors nature never dreamed of, and in patterns taken right off the walls of an Op-Pop gallery. The fun furs are for secretaries who want the feel of fur without the financial pinch of mink and for two-mink socialites who are looking for new skins to crawl into...
...halfway into leftfield for a two-base error. A sacrifice and two hits later, the Twins had a 2-0 lead. The Dodgers got back one in the seventh, and then, with the tying run on third, Manager Walt Alston made his move. He took Koufax out for a pinch hitter-Don Drysdale-who struck out on three pitches.

...heard the old, familiar chant: "Yankee, go home!" In India, two German tourists were beaten by a mob that thought they were Americans. Washington held only one trump card and promptly used it: all military supplies to both countries were suspended. Pakistan would be the first to feel the pinch since it is wholly dependent on U.S. spare parts and, unlike India, has no real industrial base for home production of arms. Eventually, the U.S. arms cutoff?in which Britain joined?could ground both sides' jet planes and halt their tanks, reducing the whole affair to an infantry war?...
