Bill Robinson A Yankees rookie who lost his shine
The 1967 Opening Day rookie Bill Robinson, traded for Clete Boyer, hit a homer and doubled as the Yankees won. He faced boos, stones, and faith in his Catholic medals as he battled to live up to his high promise amid a tough career arc. Now 31, he seeks to salvage respect in a career marked by ups and downs and long odds.

Recycled Discards Help African Poor Build Comforts
Cape Town AP reports poverty drives African families to reuse trash for survival. With 50 cents daily and five children, a leaky roof is patched using flattened tomato cans on corrugated iron. Across Timbuktu and Lagos, discarded car parts, bottles, and oil drums become tools, furniture, and everyday goods, revealing a continent-wide recycling ingenuity amid hardship.
