...suave, cigar-smoking Barzel (pronounced Bart-sell) acts as Erhard's right-hand man in the Bundestag, conferring with him weekly on all major legislation and in between times on other top issues of the day. He traveled 13,000 miles speechmaking for the Christian Democrats in last summer's election campaign, has been responsible for the past two years for shepherding all major legislation through the legislature. In the Bundestag, he has become famous for his ability to reconcile squabbling factions in the party...
...McDowell can throw a baseball faster than anybody else in the American League, and he stands 6 ft. 5 in. tall-"two inches of which," someone once noted, "is hair." Sam's taste in clothes is provocative. He showed up for work this spring looking like Black Bart-black ranch pants, black coat, black neckerchief, black cowboy boots and black Stetson. As far as Cleveland Manager Birdie Tebbetts is concerned, "McDowell can wear a breechcloth and feathers if he wants"-so long as he mows down American League hitters the way he has ever since the 1966 season started...
They worried over reports that Quarterback Bart Starr could barely lift his arm, let alone throw a pass, that Fullback Jim Taylor was limping around with a pulled groin muscle, that Halfback Paul Hornung was nursing bruised ribs, a twisted knee and a sprained wrist.

Picasso & Pop. The museum was a triumph of individualistic donations. Its pavilions were named for their donors, the late realtor Leo S. Bing, Bankers Bart Lytton and Howard Ahmanson, who laid out a total of $3,675,000. Industrialist Norton Simon gave a $250,000 wad as well as a loan of $15 million in art treasures. From the movie colony (Billy Wilder, Bob Hope and Burt Lancaster) came a flood of art from Picasso to pop. Capping it all was Simon's loan of the $2,234,400 Titus by Rembrandt. To keep the floodgates open, the trustees...
...western division, the Greon Bay Packers look like a sure thing. They combine veterans who have played for championship teams in the past, men such as Bart Starr, Jim Taylor, Willie Davis, and Ray Nitschke, with young, ambitious players like Lee Roy Caffey, Marv Fleming, and Dave Robinson. The defense is solid, and Starr's passing complements the running game nicely, but the determing factor should be the admirable combination of unflappable old hands and unbreakable young ones...
