...think will be reversed. The cruzeiro's exchange rate has been held at 2,200 to the dollar for more than a year, taxes are being collected more diligently, credit has been tightened, and the constant wage increases have been slowed. Moreover, his persuasive economics minister, Roberto Campos, has beat bushes abroad convincing hesitant investors that now is the time to get in.

San Francisco Pitcher Juan Marichal (23-6) kept the Giants' fading hopes alive by beating the Pirates 6-5-winning his own game with a ninth-inning home run.

Possibly as a sign of things to come, seven more Brazilians were deprived of their political rights last week, bringing the total since the revolution...
...after the all-star game. Harry "The Hat" Walker has virtually the same cast back, but this season he will open with a healthy Bill Mazeroski. Another plus is Matty Alou, acquired from the Giants. He fits into Bill Virdon's spot in centerfield, banked by Willie Stargell and Roberto Clemente...
