...Flipper (actually a girl dolphin named Susie) who saves the day, easily proving the most indomitable anthropomorphic movie hero since Rin Tin Tin. Flipper sings, squeals, dances, tows a disabled rowboat through a choppy sea, finally defeats the villains in single-snouted combat, and nearly dies of a knife wound before surgery pulls him through. Anyone who finds such exploits hard to swallow is either a lot more than twelve years old or just a jaded landlubber who can't appreciate a picture with a porpoise...
...spine injury, a concussion and assorted internal injuries. That ruled out such sports as football and basketball. But he could still play golf, and after college he turned pro, with so-so results: in five years, he won three tournaments, created his biggest splash in 1962 when he wound up third behind Nicklaus and Palmer in the U.S. Open...

Now it is July 4-and they are coasting along in first place, four games ahead of the pack. For a team that wound up seventh in 1962 and fourth last year, the Orioles seem too good to be true. Third Baseman Brooks Robinson (a .251-hitter in 1963), is batting a lusty .314. Outfielder Boog Powell has 20 homers. Rookie Pitcher Wally Bunker, 19, won his first six straight. And Shortstop Luis Aparicio...
