...seemed right with the Dodgers. An unknown outfielder named Chuck Essegian rose from the bench in the seventh to pinch-hit, swatted another homer. Two batters later, Neal came back to hit a 420-ft. blast into the White Sox bullpen for two more runs. In the eighth, stubby Third Base Coach Tony Cuccinello, the man who had flashed the go-go sign to the Sox all season long, sent heavy-footed Catcher Sherm Lollar lumbering for home with the tying run. He never made it; a sharp relay by Dodger Shortstop Maury Wills caught...
...Third Game. For the opener in Los Angeles, a record World Series crowd of 92,294 began filling the parking lots that sprawl outside the Coliseum as early as 1 a.m. Dodger Pitcher Don Drysdale had control trouble, but Catcher Roseboro saved him by gunning out three of the touted Chicago speed boys (Rivera, Aparicio, Fox) on attempted steals of second. With the bases loaded in the seventh, gimpy Carl Furillo, 37, came off the Dodger bench to hit a bouncing ball past the frantic glove of Shortstop Aparicio, and drive in two runs. The Sox threatened in the eighth...

That claim, says Nove, who was born in Russia, is "based on an absurdly inadequate commodity sample." He figures that "40% is possible," but one-third of the U.S. level is closer to the truth...
...president of First National City Bank of New York, was appointed chairman of the board succeeding Howard C. Sheperd, who retires Nov. 1 at 65. A grandnephew of John D. Rockefeller Sr. and second cousin of New York's Governor, the new chairman bosses the nation's third largest bank (first: Bank of America, second: Chase Manhattan). A grandson of James Stillman, president of National City from 1891 to 1909, Rockefeller captained Yale's 1924 crew, spurred it to victory in that year's Olympic Games. Married in 1925 to a grandniece of Andrew Carnegie, Rockefeller...
