INSIDE PM~ Left: Loading the plane in Geneva. Right: Guy Smith and Bernie Robinson aboard the 737. LOCAL LAUREATE 'saac Bashevis Singer was born in Radzymin, Poland, in 1904 and came to the United States in 1935. He is the author of more than a dozen short-story collections and novels, among them, Gimpel the Fool and Other Stories, A Crown of Feathers, and Shosha. A contributor to TheNew Yorker, Harper's Bazaar, and Esquire, he has also written in Yiddish for the fewish Daily Forward for many years. In 1978, Mr. Singer won the Nobel Prize in literature. He and his wife now make Miami Beach their permanent home. AMERICAN ORIGINAL R atrick McDonnell is a freelance illustrator whose drawings graced the Russell Baker column for The New York Times Magazine for years and can now be found in the "Scorecard" column of Sports Illustrated. His work also appears in Time, Fortune, and Parade magazines, and in advertising campaigns for AT&T and Johnson & Johnson. He is the author of Bad Baby, a collection of cartoons from Parents magazine; and coauthor of "Krazy Kat ": TheArt of George Herriman. In his free time, McDonnell paints and plays drums in New Jersey, where he lives along with 3 percent of the American popuIation. I W ithin hours of the earthquake in Armenia, Philip Morris was among the Western businesses and corporations that responded with help. We faced a formidable logistic challenge: coordinating relief efforts among the Philip Morris divisions abroad. The General Foods management is in Paris; Kraft is in Munich; Philip Morris headquarters is in Switzerland. Planes had to be found and chartered, and Soviet and Armenian officials had to be contacted. Two weeks before Christmas, two cargo planes took 71 tons of food to Armenia. Bernard Robinson, P,VIM chief of international correspondents, and Guy Smith, publisher of PMM, were aboard. Guy has interviewed the prime minister of Turkey and Pope John Paul II for the magazine. As he put it, "Our Kraft and General Foods companies make products that were very badly needed in Armenia. We're deeply moved by this tragedy, and we were in a position that enabled us to respond very quickly to people who were in very, very grave need. " The exclusive photographs from Armenia in this issue were taken by Bernie Robinson and Betsy Rich. SALAD DRESSER D Cborah Madison was the founding chef of Greens restaurant in San Francisco and is the author of The Greens Cookbook. She has worked with Alice Waters of Chez Panisse, at the American Academy in Rome, and is a contributor to the Time-Life Cookbook Series. Her special love in cooking has always been vegetables, especially herbs and lettuces. She presently lives in Flagstaff, Arizona, where she is working on a second cookbook, teaching classes, and trying to meet the challenge of cooking at 7,000 feet. YANKEE MANQUII R obert Sam Anson failed to make the Cleveland Heights, Ohio, Little League team three years running. The author of Exile and With Best Intentions, and numerous articles for national magazines, Anson currently makes his home in Bangkok, Thailand, the only place, he says, where he is the best ballplayer in town. "Getting two hits off Whitey Ford," says Anson, "makes up for all the traumas of childhood, adolescence, adulthood, and those still to come. " L"

Mickey Mantle and Whitey Ford offer the ultimate baseball fantasy-being a Yankee for a week. . i ven from 60 feet, six inches, the steely glint in Whitey Ford's blue eyes was J~ unmistakable. He'd been easy on me for the first two pitches, both of which had blurred by for strikes. Now, with runners on second and third, two outs, at the bottom of the ninth, a run behind in the big game, he was going to stick the next one in my ear. Whitey squinted for the sign. "A little chin music," I could hear Moose Skowron urging him from the op- posing dugout. "Yeah, Whitey, " echoed a chorus of voices. "Let him suck on a little horsehide. "As he went into his stretch, Whitey only smirked in reply. "Stay calm," I whispered to myself, waving my bat at the mound, the way I had seen Dave Winfield do it in Yankee Stadium. "Just remember what the Mick told you: 'Keep your eye on the ball. Watch it. Wait for it. Let it come to you. "" Easy enough for him to say. He was Mickey Mantle, one of the greatest of all time. And who was I? Someone who hadn't even made the Little League in Cleveland Heights, Ohio; an out-of-shape, over-the-hill, forty-something scribbler with a body Baseba!l is a game for kids of all ages. like Tommy Lasorda's, facing one of the greatest pitchers of all times. The bat was slippery in my hands; I could feel the sweat running in rivers be- neath my pinstripes. There was a tangle of arms on the mound; then, suddenly, it was coming toward me-a dancing white sphere no bigger, it seemed, than an aspirin tablet, moving at what ap- peared to be Warp Factor Eight. In terror, I recognized it for what it BY ROBERT SAM ANSON iaNOTOORAPlfS BY RONALD C. MODRA was-"the Alligator Mud- Ball," Whitey called it-a pitch that, defying the laws of common sense and New- tonian physics, broke up and in, usually leaving the hapless batter it was aimed at an impotent puddle of frustrated flesh. No time to worry now, though. In a nanosecond, the demon thing Whitey had loosed would be on me. Watch it.... Watch it.... Wait .... Wait.... Wait.... Now! Dimly, I was aware of the bat whistling forward in an arc-dimly, because my eyes were closed. Then, I heard something: a distinct crack, a sound remembered from a thousand far-off Sat- urday afternoons. My eyes snapped open in shock. "Go! Go! Go!" my team- mates were screaming, whether at me, standing there dumbly frozen at the improbability of what had just occurred, or at the ball, which was rising on a gentle trajectory toward left field, was hard to tell. But I didn't really care. I was nine years old again, the world was wonderful, and I had just smacked the stuffing out of Whitey's best. It was a fantasy, of course, the kind of fantasy that little boys who grow up on baseball diamonds dream of. Only, PHILIP MORRIS MAGAZINE! MARCH.APRIL 1999 9

for me and 53 other not-so-little boys who came together in Orlando, Florida, for seven magical days last November, this was one fantasy that came true, thanks to The Mickey Mantle/Whitey Ford Fantasy Base- ball Camp. Founded four years ago by Whitey and The Mick, neither of whom has managed to get the game out of his blood, the camp is located at the superb spring training facilities of the Kansas City Royals. It offers aging, would-be jocks the chance to do what fate, career choices, or (as in my case) plain lack of ability otherwise pro- hibited. We can don the Yankee pin- stripes and rub shoulders with the star-studded likes of Ralph Houk, "Moose" Skowron, Hank Bauer, Mickey Rivers, Enos Slaughter, Clete Boyer, Johnny Blanchard, Mike Ferraro, and a benchful of other former Yankee greats. Putting aside the cares of the humdrum, workaday world, we can be (or at least pretend to be) real live major leaguers-and, in the bargain, maybe even get a hit off of Whitey himself. I got two of them during my three days of fantasy playing, which more than made up for the four strikeouts and pulled Achilles tendon invested in getting them. I also got a Yankee uniform; a baseball card with my picture on it; a mock cover of Sport magazine, proclaiming me the American League MVP; a baseball autographed by Mickey, Whitey, and all my other Yankee "teammates"; a genuine Louisville Slugger; a team picture; ten bucks won off Hank Bauer playing poker one night; a sunburn and a horse-sized hangover; a score of new friends; and enough tales-particularly if I stretch the truth a bit-to last a lifetime. There was, for instance, the homer .... But that is getting away from the storv. which bevins. as all eood baseball stories should, on a cloudless sunny day in a dugout redolent with the smell of sweat, resin, and chewing tobacco, the last being periodically ex- pectorated by Ralph Houk, the skipper of the team to which I have been assigned. "The Major," as Houk is called, in tribute to his World War II Army rank, was, in real life, manager of the 1960 Yankees, arguably the best baseball team ever. He remains a shrewd judge of talent. When I present myself for the first of two nine- inning games the campers play every day, he takes a quick look at my physique and pencils me in as the alter- nating right fielder, batting ninth. As I lumber out onto the field the first time, awkward in my new cleats, he imparts a bit of advice: "Try to avoid gross embarrassment." Fortu- nately no balls are hit my way, and I do. Back in the dugout, as a short-lived rally fizzles, I meet my teammates. Except for their ages-many on the far side of 40-and their passion for Yankee baseball, they are a diverse lot. The center fielder, George Lesesne, a slow-drawling, semiretired general contractor from Columbia, South Carolina, played minor league ball in his youth, but gave it up after too many bus trips and $150-a-week pay- checks. Playing left is Mike Shilling, another contractor, from Baltimore, Maryland. "Bulldog," as The Major has dubbed him, after his gritty style of play, is one of many in camp who was given his fantasy week by his wife for his 40th birthday. The team's power hitter (and destined to be named the camp's MVP) is short- stop Dale Whittenberger, a quiet Quaker from Bucks County, Pennsyl- vania. A veteran of three previous camps, Dale attributes his home-run stroke to the beer he drinks at breakfast, during the game, and after the game. Coming to fantasy week, he says, "makes me feel 24 years old all over a¢ain." .loe Melleski pitches vahile Mick "The Quick"Rivws b During "The Star Spangled Banner, "players w
