...psychoanalytic center near the old monastery grounds. Their elegant religious art is still sold on the cathedral grounds, and Lemercier, now married, is still close to the bishop. Ivan Illich's center, legally a secular institution, is now secular in mood as well, and currently has a record enrollment of more than 600, including many non-Catholics. Méndez Arceo still speaks warmly and publicly of Illich's "participation in Cuernavaca's Christian community...
...plate. "I've never thrown deliberately at a batter's head in my life," the 6-ft. 6-in. pitcher once said. What he unquestionably did do was snap off blazing sidearm fastballs and dancing curves with bullwhip fury. In the process, he set a lifetime league record for most hit batsmen (154). This year, the overpowering ace of the Los Angeles Dodger staff proved he had as much guts as the batters who had faced him during the past 13 seasons. He pitched game after game despite an injury deep in his shoulder socket that robbed...
...brilliant lefthander, Sandy Koufax, to lead the traditionally weak-hitting Dodgers to five National League pennants. Although he often pitched in Koufax's shadow, he was the workhorse of the Dodger staff; from 1962 to 1965 he hurled more than 300 innings a season.

He shares with Koufax and St. Louis Cardinal Bob Gibson a league record for registering 200 or more strikeouts during each of six seasons. He won the Cy Young Award as the outstanding pitcher in the majors...

But Arthur's lawyers argued that Williams' record made him unfit to be trusted with firearms. Since the defense did not ask for a jury, the decision was up to Federal Judge William Keady. Late last month Keady ordered Arterbury to pay $85,000 in damages to Arthur. "The moral sense of all reasonable men," said the judge, "would be shocked by the punishment visited upon the plaintiff...
...pound hit a record low of $2.3813 in London, apparently because the Bank of England felt it safe to support the price at a lower level than the $2.3825 it usually tries to maintain as a floor. The value of the U.S. dollar dropped against the mark in Frankfurt but held steady elsewhere. The free-market price of gold moved scarcely at all-even though that volatile price is supposed to shoot up on any widespread doubts about the value of paper money...
