...four earlier negotiating sessions between two foreign ministry delegates and the woman guerrilla-always accompanied by Mexican Ambassador Ricardo Galan, representing the hostages-both sides had apparently made some concessions. The terrorists, under the orders of a mysterious masked chieftain called Comandante Uno, reportedly scaled down their original ransom demand from $50 million to $10 million; they also stopped insisting on worldwide dissemination of their revolutionary manifesto.

The Dodgers had two regular .300 hitters (Dixie Walker, Augie Galan); the Cards had three, including League-Leader Stan Musial. But when it came to managers, the Dodgers had a big edge: at getting the most out of his mediocre material, the Cards' polite little Eddie Dyer was no match for flamboyant, volatile Leo the Lip Durocher...
