Aaron naturally gets a handsome salary for doing what comes naturally $67,500 a year, which seems only reasonable by Mickey Mantle standards. If all goes according to Manager Bragan's plan, Milwaukee's fair-weather fans will contribute another $8,000 to that when the Braves get into the World Series and they get into the ballpark. There is some opinion that they shouldn't be allowed. "If I owned the Milwaukee ball club," says San Francisco Giants Owner Horace Stoneham, "I wouldn't sell one World Series ticket in Milwaukee...
...After reading your thorough report on Flight 901A [July 30], I feel compelled as a professional pilot to make these comments: The CAB concedes that the compass may have been 15° off, that the altimeter may have been off, and that someone on the ground falsified a weather report.

Feeding the Demagogues. Why do commodity prices boom and bust, gutting whole economies, while industrial prices glide up? The main reason is that commodity supplies are largely unpredictable, depend chiefly on the weather. International marketing agreements that could bring stability have been hard to negotiate and harder still to enforce. Castro upset the world sugar pact; the world coffee agreement is riddled with holes, and cocoa producers have repeatedly failed to agree on quotas and prices...
