...usually the most influential man on the spot. Tshombe grants an interview. Halberstam writes a favorable piece about Tshombe; the State Department thinks it is owed a favorable piece about Adoula. Everyone is conscious of the newspaper's power: even the Buddhist priests learned to call in newsmen to ward off arrests...
...current exhibit at the Ward Nasse Gallery (118 Newbury St.) should be of interest to the Harvard community, for it shows the recent drawings of Albert Alcalay, instructor in Drawing at the Carpenter Center. The story of this artist's success seems almost story-bookish. Imprisoned in 1941 for being a Yugoslavian Jew, he talked his way out of one concentration camp by persuading a Nazi colonel that his artistic future should not be destroyed. Recapture, in another camp, he used his abilities to forge false documents and again he escaped. After the liberation, he made his way to Rome...

Tho only three reliable batters on the Sox are outfielder Floyd Robinson (.301), first baseman Bill Skowron (.282, 17 homers), and infielder Pete Ward (.282, 23 homers). The White Sox won't leave too many opposing pitchers shell-shocked, but with Pizzaro, Peters, Horlen, Howard, and Wilhelm, they don't need...
