...Milwaukee Brewers plan to give the Sox as much misery as they can this weekend, when they entertain Zim's steely crew out in the city that made beer famous. The Brewers are the principal beneficiaries of the home-towner's El Foldo act, and could pull within a half-game of first place if they sweep the three-game set. Watch for Cecil Cooper, erstwhile Bosox first-baseman who went out to Diaryland in the infamous George "Two-Outs-for-the-Price-of-One" Scott trade, to do some heavy-duty slugging, making the Sox management wish they...

A New Yorker would count the day lost if he could not regale an out-of-towner, or a friend, or himself, with some vivid tale of megalopolitan woe. The past master of this urban gallows humor is Neil Simon, and in The Prisoner of Second Avenue he has written his finest play since The Odd Couple...
