Murdered Mistresses. A dull day! The very thought would make Hecht and MacArthur spin in their rolltop desks. Their "supermen with soiled collars" were a callous, cynical lot, born of an era when circulation wars raged and when a condemned man was not simply hanged but, as one daily bannered, JERKED TO JESUS.

Conigliaro himself says he can now "get his eye on the spin of the ball," recently proved it by whacking a single and a home run to lead the Red Sox to a 4-3 victory over the Cincinnati Reds. "Tony never doubted that he could do it," says Williams, "and he made believers out of all of us." Tony has made such a believer...
