...watching The Man fumble like a Pittsburgh infielder trying for a double play was the final indignity. After many a loyal but losing season, Redbird fans are fed up. They managed to stomach the trade two years ago of their old favorite, Enos Slaughter. They made only a routine beef when General Manager Frank Lane got rid of such bright hopes as Outfielder Bill Virdon (now batting .311 for Pittsburgh), Pitcher Brooks Lawrence (who has won 16, lost 7 for Cincinnati) and Southpaw Harvey Haddix (who has won 11, lost 5 for Philadelphia).

Then, after dismantling their stand one closing night, Krassowski and his friend offered to help some "ride-boys" take down their carrousel. They worked from midnight until...
...week, at the start of Deauville's most fashionable fortnight, André prowled his domain from 9 a.m. to 4 a.m. each day, checking the activities of his 2,000 employees (per capita wine allowance: 5 gals. a season), the kitchens that dish out one ton of roast beef and 30 lbs. of caviar a day, the cellars from which 20,000 bottles of champagne flow each season...
