...appears on television. His boyish visage and brash charm also won him spots on The Rifleman and the Donna Reed Show, and he once sang with Milton Berle in a Las Vegas nightclub. He also owns a rich stable of race horses, two of which he keeps on his Hidden Hills ranch in the San Fernando Valley. That enterprise helped make him one of the richest ballplayers in the game. In fact, by 1966 he was in so comfortable a financial position that he and Koufax were able to hold out for an unprecedented dual contract...

A synagogue was blown up in Kfar Saba. In a Haifa market, a 17-year-old youth tugged at an odd-looking object embedded in a watermelon and triggered an explosion; police found several more booby-trapped melons near by. In all, terrorist action killed one and wounded 13. Against this background of violence, Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir called for adherence to the cease...
