...since 1948, when the Cleveland Indians and the Boston Red Sox wound up deadlocked for the lead at season's end-with the Yankees a bare two games behind-has the American League had a pennant race to compare. In five months the lead has changed hands as often as an Indianhead penny. Yogi Berra's Yankees, crippled as they were by injuries, have been in first place seven times; Al Lopez' White Sox, the punchless wonders, have visited there on eleven separate occasions; and Hank Bauer's Baltimore Orioles have tried twelve times to build...
Fair or Foul. The fledgling Orioles needed teaching, all right. That first season they wound up 57 games out of first place. Next year they finished seventh; then sixth. Baltimore fans hardly seemed to notice: "Bushers," visiting players called the crowds for screaming like banshees at every ball the Orioles hit-fair or foul. At last, in 1960, there was something worth cheering about: under Manager Paul Richards, that old shrewdie, the Orioles flew all the way up to second place. In 1961, after a bad start, they won 95 games-a club record. Aha, said the never-die fans...

Less than two hours later, Commodore Henry Morgan, chairman of the New York Yacht Club Selection Committee, stepped aboard Connie at her moorings. "It is my very happy duty," he said, "to announce that Constellation has been selected to defend the America...
...time the Democrats started arriving in Atlantic City, Humphrey felt confident, had reserved a headquarters and communications center taking up a full floor of the Shelburne Hotel. But the word quickly came from the White House to "take it easy." Humphrey wound up sharing a modest, single switchboard headquarters with Gene McCarthy, who remained one of his few ostensible rivals for the Veepship...
...meeting of the International Coffee Organization in London this month, Borio argued for considerably lower coffee quotas-the amount of coffee that producers are allowed to export-to help keep prices up by reducing the supply. Opposed by the U.S., the world's biggest coffee consumer, he wound up agreeing to a new world quota of 48 million bags-a scant 300,000 lower than the old quota. Angry at this failure, Brazilian producers also criticized Borio for selling 180,000 bags of low-grade coffee to Algeria and Lebanon at cut-rate prices...
