...concerned Democratic officials: "Will the real Lyndon Johnson please shut up?" The real Lyndon Johnson is the one who was molded during 26 years on Capitol Hill; unlike most Presidents, he has shown few signs of personal or intellectual change in the White House. He is still the arm-squeezing, wheedling, wheeling-dealing Majority Leader, slinking into the wings when defeat looms and hogging stage center in victory. Stories of his vindictiveness, his pettiness, his tantrums when the press questions his decisions, have done little to improve that image...
...sniffs from many women-particularly matrons in their 40s. His refusal to support Goldwater made him a villain to the Republican right. But if the conservatives want a winner, it is conceivable that they might help him toward the nomination. In any case, it will probably take considerable public arm-twisting by G.O.P. powers to coax the reluctant Rocky into the arena. It might well prove worth the effort. He is a proved campaigner, effective in the big cities and clearly a match for L.B.J., in both ex perience and expertise. On foreign policy, Rocky, a former Assistant Secretary...
...Baltimore cannot possibly duplicate last year's effort. Steve Barber, the only established starter, is suffering from his perpetual sore arm.

Their relievers saved them last year, but Stu Miller is approaching 40, Moe Drabowsky's 7-0 record was preceded by a 48-81 and 4.19 ERA lifetime mark, and Dick Hall...
...years', of contraceptive hormones, placed in a slow-release capsule no more than an inch long and the thickness of a kitchen match, is undergoing tests. Implanted in the arm or buttock, the capsule would provide long-lasting protection-or could be removed if pregnancy were desired...
...President Johnson's return from Guam. Column after column chronicled the comeback attempt of Yankee Pitcher Whitey Ford, 38, who underwent surgery for a circulatory blockage after a sorry 2-5 season in 1966. Ford was not going to sign his 1967 contract until he tested his repaired arm in spring training; the World Champion Baltimore Orioles bombed him for nine hits and five runs in three innings, but against the Los Angeles Dodgers, Whitey went five innings and allowed just one run. So Ford signed...
