...such swashbuckling company, Stan Musial seems pleasantly out of place-living proof that nice guys do not necessarily finish last. Nobody has ever seen him sulk or throw a tantrum. Unlike Ruth, he has never punched a cop. Unlike Cobb, he has never attacked a crippled heckler in the stands. Unlike Wagner, he has never stuffed a ball into a base runner's teeth. He is, says ex-Teammate Joe Garagiola, a "saint with money." Only once, in 1959, has he openly disputed an umpire's call. The ump's reaction was hilarious-he gaped at Musial...
Death of the Clan. At 46, Sinatra is more alone now than since the days before his From Here to Eternity success made him a late-blooming perennial. Of the Clan, only Dean Martin and Mike Romanoff remain; Peter Lawford (whom Sinatra now snubs) is in a dark sulk, Sammy Davis is a family man. In his new flair for long talks with newsmen, he has conceded that only a few years remain for him as a performer...
...parking garage there. While Harvard and Cambridge sat by and watched, Sullivan rounded up the $350,000 banknote that he needed to take up the option. The motel has been a financial success and has added quite a few parking spaces to the area. If University and city still sulk, they had better ask themselves why they did not get there first...
Imagination Game. The challenge of the forgeries has sharpened the West's countermeasures. Fed the same canard as the Daily Express, two other European newspapers checked with U.S. authorities before rushing into print-and were persuaded to hold back. Western governments, who used to sulk secretly over forgeries indicating skulduggery by allies, now check these "documents" with each other to establish authenticity. And last July a phony aimed at Latin America was handily aborted by U.S. authorities. It professed to be secret instructions from Under Secretary of State Douglas Dillon to U.S. diplomatic posts in South America. Orders were...
...that had actually happened in Phongsaly was that the local army commander was out of sorts with the government and in a sulk had turned off his radio set. When Vientiane noted that radio contact had been broken off, the government assumed the worst. As for the Communist "invasion" itself, that story apparently originated when two battalions of North Vietnamese gathered near the border one dark night, set up an eerie howl and fired their weapons in all directions, touching off blind panic at the Laotian garrison in the nearby town of Nonget. It all brought memories of July...
