...healthy leather brown, more affable than he had been in ages, Johnson strolled serenely among the gaily covered tables spread out on the thick Bermuda and St. Augustine grass in front of the ranch house, chatting, sniffing the air, shaking hands, sitting to gobble up a hefty plate of barbecue himself. Muzak wafted with the river breeze through the live oaks, and news men sipped the local Pearl beer and soft drinks...
Nothing can save the Yanks this year. But Mantle, 34, keeps trying. In Boston one night two weeks ago, he came to ihe plate in the first inning and slammed a fastball into the rightfield bleachers. In the eighth he sailed another into the leftfield screen, and Boston's home crowd of 14,922 gave him a standing ovation. Next night the old outpatient blasted two more, then traveled south to Washington, where he poled four more homers in three games against the Senators to make it eight in six days. Last week, with the Yanks locked...
...manufacturers offering kitchen equipment, the sentimentalists asking the bride to wear their ancient lace. Others have been politely accepted: a set of coasters, decorated with pebbles, from a New Jersey elementary school; a sheet and pillow cases hand-tatted by a 15-year-old Rochester girl; a cake plate lovingly decorated by an elderly woman in the Midwest.

By that time, Javits has usually met several delegations, sat in on a committee hearing and dictated any number of letters to the pretty secretary who trots at his side through...
...budget for the London crusade is $840,000-or, as Billy put it, "about what Cassius Clay got for less than three minutes in the ring with Sonny Listen." About half the money will be raised by passing the plate and selling books during the crusade, with the rest anted up by British churches and businessmen. One Graham supporter offered the crusade $14,000 on the enigmatic condition that Billy would not stay at the London Hilton; assured that Graham had confirmed reservations at the Kensington Palace, the backer doubled his contribution...
