...quarterback, Daryle Lamonica personifies Oakland's humble, inconspicuous approach to this game. If there is another man as cagey as Lombardi, it is Raider boss Al Davis, and he has his team laying low. They will be psychologically ready when the time comes. In any case, Lamonica couldn't play worse than Dallas's Don Meredith did two weeks ago. We are betting he will be spectacular. If the game is close and low-scoring, as it should be, then Oakland's edge in both punting and place-kicking will also be important...
...also points out that this is in part due to inexperience. The whole idea of developing human--as opposed to just natural--resources is very new, both in the U.S. and abroad. Just one facet of this new approach to underdevelopment, educational development on a mass scale, is still in its infancy and will remain immature for some time to come...
Palmistry, in short, is not a science in the usual sense or a foolproof approach to life, but it is a fascinating form of knowledge that more and more people are becoming interested in. It gives them food for thought and a fairly clear picture of what the future holds.

When the Detroit riots erupted last summer, Johnson had a splendid opportunity to rally the nation. Instead, he took a safe, legalistic and patently political approach, delaying the dispatch of federal troops until Michigan's Governor George Romney, a potential rival in 1968, was ready to admit that he had lost control of the situation. Johnson's follow-up actions were no more impressive. "Here we've had a whole summer of riots," said former White House...
...Congress, Johnson was hobbled by the "stop, look and listen" approach advocated by Senate Majority Leader Mike Mansfield. Engorged with costly programs enacted by the 89th Congress, the 90th cast a jaundiced eye on Johnson's new requests. According to Congressional Quarterly, from the time Johnson took office until the end of 1966, he got 655 of his 1,057 proposals enacted into law a sensational 62% average. (By C.Q.'s reckoning, Dwight Eisenhower batted 46%, John F. Kennedy only 39%.) But in 1967, Johnson was defeated on his tax-surcharge, civil rights, anticrime, East-West trade and legislative-reorganization...
