...publishing house is called the Millstone Press. The dear, droll priest has cluttered up magazines (Father Juniper) and movie houses (Bing and Barry) for years. The work of J. F. Powers, a New Yorker short-storyist writing his first novel, is of a higher order. During this superior burlesque, Powers deftly shades his portrait of Father Urban so that at the novel's end, when the priest grows old and ill, the reader feels not the absence of a comic figure but the loss...
...OUTFIELD--The Yankees are superior up front but in baseball it is not necessarily what's up front that counts. Not when the Giants have Felipe Alou, Harvey Kuenn, and Willie Mays on the outfield grass. Despite his tendency to hit home runs now and then, (and this year it has been mostly then) Roger Maris is not quite as impressive as Alou. Don't get me wrong.

...year history of the America's Cup, 17 challengers had gone down to defeat before superior U.S. boats and superior U.S. seamanship. Of 55 races, the challengers had won only five*-and the last boat to do it was Britain's Endeavour, 28 years ago. But last week, off Newport, R.I., Australia's Gretel and Skipper Jock Sturrock proved to be unawed by the statistics. In the first four races of the best-of-seven series, the Aussies lost three to the U.S. defender, Weatherly, and her quiet genius, Bus Mosbacher. But Gretel...
...Goldwater's decision to stay neutral; he wired all G.O.P. county chairmen that "only God and myself will know whom I vote for." The contest thus turned mainly on personality. Shadegg is recognized as one of the nation's most astute political managers, but his cold, seemingly superior personality offended many voters. Mecham, a slight man with a folksy twang, came across better. Born on a Utah farm, he was a high school salutatorian, a World War II P-51 pilot who was shot down over Germany and held prisoner, a self-made businessman who built...
