Despite this array of talent, Pappas is the only Oriole starter who is a sure thing to have a good season. Roberts and Haddix are getting old. Barber will have to show that he can regain his 1963 form. Bunker will be confronting the sophomore jinx, and had an unimpressive spring training...
Minnesota has a fantastic array of power hitters: Harmon Killebrew (.270, 49 homers), Tony Oliva (.323, 32 homers), Bob Allison (.287, 32 homers), Jimmie Hall (.283, 24 homers), and Earl Battey (.272, 12 homers). But the Twins had all these sluggers last year, and still finished in sixth place, a living testimony to the maxim that pitching is 75 per cent of baseball. Only Camilo Pascual (15-12) and Jim Kaat (17-11) had decent seasons, and unless Minnesota comes up with another reliable pitcher, they won't be able to finish higher than fifth...
...hero runs with a wild pack of boys in County Down, a leader in all their hunts and games until he adopts a ferret named Jill. Immediately everybody shuns him because ferrets are believed to massacre barnyard fowl.

Through his loyalty to his pet, the hero slowly learns that his instincts are different from those of his friends. The author is a Down man himself, now living in Wales. Although he is a born nature...
...predecessors. Still, there was no room to spare. All sections contained rocket motors of assorted sizes capable of firing in every direction for the control of attitude in flight, and to change speed and orbital path. As for the crowded cockpit itself, its instrument panels bristled with an intricate array of switches, knobs and dials that controlled everything from the air conditioning of the astronauts' space suits to the most delicate computer computations necessary for the mission. Everything was there in carefully planned, expensive detail; there was even a little mechanical pencil dangling by a chain from a spring...
...bare white plaster anywhere in the galleries. Instead, moderns hang against natural-colored monk's cloth, and old masters are shown against lustrous shades of velvet. Despite elegant walls, Brown and his staff of nine curators have chosen not to impress by clutter: a small but prize array of impressionists and postimpressionists, including a magnificent Cézanne still life that seems to tilt a plate of cherries into the viewer's mouth, is brought together to demonstrate one of the museum's strengths. Great Renaissance paintings, still in short supply despite loans of Botticellis, Van Dycks...
