...Ball. To anyone who ever lived in a college dorm or an Army barracks, Bouton's tales are not all that scandalous. Bowie Kuhn and the players aside, fans will find Ball Four a fast, flip and often funny account of the author's struggle to stay in the big leagues as a knuckleballing pitcher after losing his high hard one (Bouton won 21 games for the Yankees of 1963).

In Moors, for instance, boys are spread out through the dorm, and much of the paranoia of males as a minority has been eliminated. A ratio closer to one-to-one would also help. The Kagan Committee and others in power should consider these problems in future coed plans. The boys still...
