...match for white ballplayers "when it comes to mental alertness." Back came Franks as the Giants' manager for 1965. Most experts picked the Giants to finish no better than fifth, one rung down the ladder from last year. They had only one lefthanded pitcher on their roster - Bob Hendley - whom they swiftly traded off to Chicago. Star Slugger Orlando Cepeda (31 homers, 97 RBIs in 1964) was laid up, maybe permanently, with an injured knee. Leftfielder Willie McCovey was suffering from bone spurs and fallen arches. Even Willie Mays seemed over the hill; in 1964 he had slipped under...
...critical role in the relief of beleaguered Due Co (see below). Even as 2,800 new U.S. marines arrived in the enclaves along the Vietnamese coast, other marines were experimenting with new techniques of vertical envelopment in the darkness around Danang. More Americans were on the way as the roster grew past 90,000 toward the 125,000-man force scheduled for Viet Nam service. And South Korea was preparing to send 15,000 troops of its own to join the battle. Despite the summer monsoon, U.S. planes last month flew a record 2,000 combat missions a week, pushing...

When it comes to hitting a baseball, the Los Angeles Dodgers are as gentle a bunch of fellows as ever donned knickers. They have just three .300 hitters on the roster-an odd lot made up of a grizzled player-coach (Jim Gilliam), a substitute outfielder (Lou Johnson) and a pitcher (Don Drysdale). As a team, the Dodgers have the fourth lowest batting average (.247) in the National League, have hit fewer home runs (37) than anybody in either league. Worse yet, they have, in three months, suffered 29 "disabling" injuries -meaning that each was bad enough...
...only in loving encounter with God and his fellow man. He called this relationship I-Thou, in contrast to I-It, where individuals deal with one another as objects. For many Christian thinkers, Buber's personalism was a vital corrective to the existentialist stress on man, and the roster of those who acknowledge their debt to his thinking reads like the honor role of 20th century theology: Tillich, Niebuhr, Maritain, Berdiaev, Barth...
