Manson began to gather followers in Haight-Ashbury in 1966, and in 1968 he moved his retinue by bus to Los Angeles to further his music-writing ambitions. Last winter, Manson moved his clan to the Spahn Ranch in western Los Angeles County, and it was from there that they made their alleged commando forays against their affluent victims.

...Minnesota Twins, he scattered nine hits, struck out twelve, and coasted to an 8-3 victory?his 28th of the year against only five losses.

No one has approached his performances in 16 years, and just two more victories will make him the first 30-game winner since Dizzy Dean turned the trick in 1934.

...Marichal managed to stay healthy in 1963. On June 15, at Candlestick Park, he pitched a no-hitter, permitting only two Houston Astros to reach first base, and winning 1-0. Two weeks later he toiled 16 innings to win another 1-0 decision, over the old master, Warren Spahn. At season's end his record was 25 victories, only eight defeats...
