...infield, the Yankees have the slickest keystone combination in baseball: Shortstop Phil Rizzuto and Second Baseman Joe Gordon, who have chalked up 194 double plays this season, equaling the all-time major-league record. Rizzuto (with a batting average of .306) and Gordon (with a season's total of 24 home runs) are also dangerous hitters...

Perhaps he might have thought her occasionally too gentle for some rougher moments, but then the audience, too, refused to roar in the old Elizabethan abandon at some of his slickest puns and sexy jokes. Malvolio, the perfect fop from curtain to curtain, is a much narrower part than Viola's. But every opportunity for satire, characterization and even, in spots, sincere drama, is exploited by Maurice Evans so completely that we are fortunate the part is in the hands of the "master...
