...three brothers and three sisters had long since married. Fabiola has large, dark brown eyes and is an attractive young woman, though no raving beauty. Educated in Paris, she speaks perfect English and French and German, as well as Spanish, swims well and plays adequate tennis. Instead of attending university; she took nurse's training in military hospitals in San Sebastian and Madrid. In her spare time, Fabiola designed Christmas cards and published a children's book called The Twelve Marvelous Tales...
Checkmate (CBS) shows promise of becoming one of TV's better private-eye series, is slickly and expertly tooled (moving tree shadows, sudden screams), and uses its one-hour format to advantage by tossing in three detectives instead of the more usual single eye. Calling themselves Checkmate, Inc., the three took on their first customer last week, a female rancher (Anne Baxter) who turned out to be a murderer...

Agnes Moorehead, a suitably grating witch, all but punctured the screen with her cockney accent, and Sterling Holloway, as Jack Pumpkinhead, cried seeds instead of tears.

"Murtaugh lets us use our own judgment," says Hoak, "until it proves to be bad judgment. For instance...
Richards works by the hour with Pitching Coach Harry ("The Cat") Brecheen to develop the Orioles' strong point: the finest crop of young pitchers in the majors. Instead of collapsing, as expected, under late-season pressure, 22-year-old Chuck ("El Stiletto") Estrada (17-9), 21-year-old Steve Barber (10-6), 21-year-old Jack Fisher (12-9) and 21-year-old Milt Pappas (13-10) are throwing harder and more accurately than ever. When his pitchers have their stuff, Richards confidently lets them throw to the hitter's power; when they do not, he may call...
