Last week SAM proved as myopic as ever. In the biggest daily barrage of the war, eleven SAMs were fired-and not one hit its mark. When SAMs tried to strong-arm Navy jets near Haiphong, the "airdales" roared in and struck the site, sending up spiraling smoke from a secondary explosion-probably a missile. Even when two SAMs were fired near Vinh at night, Air Force Phantoms could avoid them. "They looked like Roman candles," said one U.S. pilot, "lighting up the night sky."

...distaff device first occurred to Wallace (TIME, March 4) after he had failed in a strong-arm attempt to amend Alabama's constitutional provision barring him from a second consecutive four-year term.

"I read Bill's speech on the arrogance of power, and I analyzed it," he said to Fulbright's wife. "You don't have to worry about the arrogance of power when you get notes like this from our cook Zephyr," he twitted her husband. Pulling a slip...
Detroit Defenseman Bill Gadsby was sporting a bruise on his arm the size of a grapefruit. Goalie Roger Crozier had a twisted ankle and a sprained knee. Forward Norm Ullman, the team's top scorer (with 31 goals) during the regular season, was nursing a bruised back. Still, the Red Wings were ahead -and Montreal's Coach Blake was baffled. "We played like amateurs," he moaned. "I just can't understand...
