...their family of five was suddenly doubled by the arrival of quintuplets. Goodbye ten pins, hello diaper pins. But last week Mary Ann, 30, turned up at the Women's International Bowling Congress at Minneapolis as captain of the United Mattress Team of Aberdeen, S. Dak. Still notably trim despite all, she rolled an average 164 for the tourney, ten points over her previous average. And the ten kids? Why, just like anyone else, Mary Ann got her mom to look after the darlings...

Bensinger, 58, fourth of that name to run the 119-year-old company, last week reported a 1963 loss of $10.1 million, largely because Brunswick set aside $15 million to cover defaulted payments on alleys and pinsetters. Trim Ted Bensinger is undismayed. He foresaw the drop and tried to forestall it by diversifying into school equipment, hospital beds and medical supplies, expects such sidelines to lead the way back; non-bowling products already account for 77% of Brunswick's $66 million in first-quarter sales. Bensinger also anticipates...
