...longstanding feud between Democratic Governor Pat Brown and Democratic Assembly Speaker Jesse Unruh. Roosevelt has charged that there is a "sinister alliance between the political machines of Big Daddy [Unruh] and Little Daddy [Yorty]" which "must be stopped and not allowed to take over city government, lock, stock and barrel." Yorty accuses Brown of helping Roosevelt. Brown denies it-sort of. "I have said time and time again that I intend to remain neutral in the race for mayor of Los Angeles," he says. "But I might add that Yorty is making it awfully difficult...
...encreased, so our men decreased. All the powder to the last barrel! was now spent, fortie men slaine, and the most part of the rest hurt. Sir Richard being shot into the bodie, was againe shot into the head. There remained no hope, no supply of men, or weapons; the Mastes all beaten over boord, her upper worke rased...
...federal desegregation drive is heading over the hump, it is largely because Washington has the states over the barrel.

Remember Arnold Palmer, who took nine strokes to get down on a par-three hole last year? And Bob Rosburg, who six-putted a green? And Bob Harrison, who joined the ranks of golf's mortals by firing an even 100 for the last 18 holes...
...cause of the uproar was the threatened cancellation of Britain's all-purpose TSR-2 bomber. A superbly sophisticated airplane that can fly at twice the speed of sound twelve miles high, or barrel along on the deck to elude enemy radar, the TSR-2 was first intended to be a light bomber. Later the plane was modified for direct support of ground troops, replacing the canceled Blue Water artillery missile. Then two years ago, when the U.S. decided to scrub its Skybolt air-to-ground thermonuclear missile, which had been destined for sale to the R.A.F...
