...opprobrium or for a fancy 'grand tour' but as part of a programmed educational pattern which splices experience with learning." The essential feature of Yale's program is neither its $300,000 nor its provision for a year in underdeveloped areas. It is rather than the student's sojourn from academics is coordinated with a "programmed educational pattern...

After a listless sojourn in third place, Yogi Berra's pinstriped legions sniffed the green stuff and snapped to attention. So lame that his teammates winced every time he hit the ball, Mickey Mantle, that matchless pro, was still batting .303, with 33 homers and 102 R.B.I.s. Catcher Elston Howard went on a sudden streak, hitting safely in twelve straight games, and Roger Maris perked...
