...Fuss, Red. With six regulars batting over .280, the Cards are a pitcher's nightmare. In 106 games, only 17 rival hurlers have lasted nine innings against them-and three of those lost. The potent hitting also helps to cancel out a couple of Cardinal weaknesses. The No. 1 team in the National League ranks No. 2 in committing errors afield. Nor is their pitching much to rave about. No St. Louis starter...
Perhaps still more potent, and still relatively safe, is the anticoagulant drug warfarin. Less than 1/500th of an ounce is enough to make an adult rat die of internal bleeding. Ironically, the brown rats' white kin in laboratories helped University of Wisconsin researchers develop warfarin anticoagulants as lifesavers for men and killers for rats...
William Randolph Hirsch is really three staffers on Monocle, a New York humor magazine-Marvin Kitman, Victor Navasky and Richard Lingeman.

The elephant becomes hopelessly drunk, reeling around wildly and often standing up on its hind legs to reach more...

In Africa, the world's champeen rodeo rider (Hugh O'Brian) and his Navaho sidekick come to Kenya to round up a bunch of wild beasts for an altruistic rancher (John Mills). Object: to create a meat source for the protein-poor Masai...
