...Robert Allison's "Conservative Philosophy and Pseudo-Conservatism" effectively dissociates conservative thought from the racist mentality, saying in brief that conservatives think while racists only feel. It is carefully constructed and fairly well-written, far clearer than Mr. Allison's soggy editorial...

"I had a hell of a good time," said Rightfielder Ron Fairly, only 5 ft. 10 in. but the top slugger in the Series, with three doubles, two homers, a .379 batting average and six RBI's.

The Twins do have plenty of power: Harmon Killebrew has hit 24 homers, Bob Allison has 23, and Tony Oliva, the American League batting champion (at .321) has 16. What's more, because of a quirk in the schedule, the Twins won't have to face Sandy Koufax in the opening game of the Series...
