Sportswriters, while speculating on the possibility of some new kind of rabbit ball, began to say out loud-and with fewer qualifications than usual-that this may be the year that tops Babe Ruth's 1927 record of 60 home runs, and Mickey might be the lad to do it.

Shirley MacLaine's irregular love life seems of little concern to either Forsythe or herself, which is a good thing...
