...Odds. Whatever the lack of talent, there was no shortage of optimism. Whitey Ford couldn't get anybody out, Mickey Mantle was not exactly a gazelle at first base, but Manager Ralph Houk bravely insisted: "We should finish in the first division." Oddsmakers figured otherwise: they picked the Yankees to finish no better than sixth and picked the Orioles as strong favorites (at 2-1) to win the American League flag again.

But beneath the powder, the mascara...

But she had the good luck or good sense to pick a nonflamboyant type with solid talent who achieved a modest success as a portrait painter, with no impulse to live it up, sleep around or hurl defiance at the bourgeoisie who bought his pictures...
