Yankee Dolor. In part, the new life in the American League can be laid to New York's Yankees, for this is the year the Yankees seem certain to lose the pennant. With the Yanks floundering, the new hit-less-wonder White Sox and the rebuilt Indians are playing like champions, and up and down the league the old also-rans are hustling with new life.

After eating a shipment of canned foods from their Chinese comrades, nearly 4,000 East Germans became ill, and some died...
...chrysanthemums and moon mist rarely monopolize Author Mishima's vision. He is especially good at charting the whiplash currents of the Japanese temperament, swerving in an instant from refinement to cruelty. His tilt with tradition is spirited but distinctly un-Japanese. Since 1950, the Kinkakuji has been meticulously rebuilt, and may well gaze at its limpid image in the Kyoko Pond for another demi-millennium...
