Ninth: The Los Angeles Angels might not be too bad. Their small park should be so nice to come home to for sluggers Kliszewski, Bob Cerv, Steve Bilko (a PCD legend after years with 37, 55, and 56 home runs), and Eddie Yost (a base-on-balls specialist who has hit 35 four-baggers in two seasons).

Members of the panel joined in urging immediate international agreement about disarmament, and the abolition of secrecy regarding CBR research. In addition to Luria, the panelists were Dr. J.

But once the season began, Killebrew took dead aim on the fences, in the space of twelve days hit two homers in each of four games...

...Moroccans, it was a question of pride. What they wanted most was some evidence that the foreigner acknowledged their new status as a fully sovereign nation no longer an appendage of France. U.S. Ambassador Charles Yost made them an offer: the U.S. would evacuate the $500 million bases after seven years. The Moroccans countered with a request for a three-year phaseout. The expected compromise: U.S. operation of the bases for five more years...
