Belgium's exiled King Leopold took a little time off from his tireless efforts to get back on the throne, and played some golf in Samaden, Switzerland, with wife Princess de Rethy...
Heart & Brain. That game put the Boston Braves back in the running, but not for long; they were obviously outclassed. What they lacked, among other things, was someone like tireless Lou Boudreau, the Indians' manager and shortstop, the man who would be most remembered in the 1948 Series. He was not only the brain of Cleveland's keyed-up baseball organism, he was also the heart of it.

La Guardia, the imaginative, tireless, dictatorial little crusader, was also a spiteful petulant exhibitionist with a passion for speeding through the city in police cars and making faces at cameramen. At 57, Bill O'Dwyer is a calm, controlled and sentimental man; when his temper rises he talks bluntly and profanely, but softly and with a cop's cold and quiet...
