...Tokyo, Yankee Pitcher Ed Lopat's All-Star baseball team, billed as the "greatest array of major-league stars ever to visit Japan," was staggered, 5-4, in its opening game, by the Mainichi Orions, a second-division club in the Pacific League. Among the fallen stars: Yankees Yogi Berra and Billy Martin, Pitchers Mike Garcia and Robin Roberts, and Home-Run Kings Ed Mathews and Hank Sauer...

In The Yogi, she strode on to the stage in flowing saffron robes with a long tambura (Indian lute) held at her back and her white hair wildly flying. She had first danced it in Vienna in 1908; in this appearance, she was frankly an old woman, but a triumphant old woman...
