...Richards)--are on their first, one-day leave in New York City. They're cornfed types and, although between the three of them they don't want to miss a bit of what the city has to offer, they're mostly interested in girls. Particularly Miss Turnstyles, a subway poster girl with whom Gabey instantly falls in love, and who becomes the object of their day-long scavenger hunt. But don't kid yourself. The three aren't just bellbottomed versions of Cornelius Hackel and Barnaby Tucker determined not to "come home until we've kissed a girl." The three...

Saigon's Disabled Veterans Association grimly announced that it had 40 more volunteers ready to follow his fiery example...
...concerts between doubleheaders. Atlanta boasts what it calls the "world's largest calliope" and Chief Noc-a-Homa, a full-blooded Indian who does a war dance on the mound before each game. There is an endless variety of "Days": Bat Day, Ball Day, Helmet Day, T Shirt Day, Poster Day, Cushion Day, Sunglasses Day, Hot Pants Day, Wild West Day, Honor America Day, Latin America Day, A-Students Day, Plattsburgh Day. The day has also come when the baggy woolen uniforms of old are giving over to the pajama-like stretch-nylon duds worn by the Pittsburgh Pirates...
