...most American cities, last Wednesday was a summer's day much like any other. Hot. California beaches reported record sales in ice cream, while New York headlines announced that the Mets had just fired Manager Yogi Berra. But it was not a day just like any other. It was the day on which, 30 years before, a bomb known as "little boy" fell on Hiroshima...
Here, for instance, is the American as son-of-Godfather: Bill Bonanno's thought processes, writes Sheed, "reminded me of Yogi Berra reading Gospel comics."

Sleek, perennially tanned, Topping was married six times (to Actress Arline Judge and Skater Sonja Henie, among others), divorced five...
...virtually every U.S. city have crumbled under the planner's rezoning and renewal schemes and the bulldozer's giant blade. One community that has successfully resisted the encroachment of urbanization is "the Hill," a 56-block, largely Italian area on the south side of St. Louis, where Yogi Berra and Joe Garagiola grew up. After a series of fierce, emotion-charged struggles with local, state and federal officials, Hill residents now boast a model community that has the lowest crime rate and the highest property values in the city. TIME Correspondent Marguerite Michaels recently visited the Hill...
