...left eight Justices who had split 4 to 4 in that case. His successor, Justice Fortas, made eloquently clear during the arguments that he views the court's "vexatious, tormented" decision no differently than he did when he was on the other side of the bench winning the right to counsel for Florida Indigent Clarence Gideon. Apparently, much like Goldberg, he sees the cases in terms of the Magna Carta-in terms of human liberty rather than "just convicting people." While that seemed to leave the Justices split about as before, court watchers also noted that Justice William...
...lineup behind him will probably be the same as always, with one possible exception. In center field, George Neville is hitting only .224, and on the bench is sophomore Carter Lord. If Neville doesn't start to hit, it's a good bet that Coach Norm Shepard will replace him with the rangy Lord, who is strong, fast, and has hit some awesome fly balls in a couple of recent pinch hitting assignments. If Lord can start finding the alleys with his hits instead of the left fielder's glove, he could give the Crimson some sorely-needed extra-base...
...cornerman, Havlicek has often been called "the best sixth man in basketball." His greatest value has been his ability to come in cold from the bench and salt away a game with a dozen quick points. He finally broke into the starting lineup against the Cincinnati Royals, with the Celtics trailing two games to one in the best-of-five semifinal playoffs.

American Motors' AMX Dream Car uses a cantilevered roof to do away with corner posts, boasts 240° visibility, and makes a stab at bringing back the old rumble seat with a back bench that uses the swing-up rear window as a windscreen. With busy businessmen in mind, Chrysler turned its 1966 Imperial Crown coupe into an experimental Mobile Executive car by installing a front passenger seat that swivels around for conferences, a folding table and typewriter for paperwork, a dictating machine...
...They Kill You." As for the American League, Casey Stengel would hardly recognize his old New York Yankees. At 34, and $100,000 per, Mickey Mantle was warming the bench and lifting sandbags to strengthen the right shoulder which was operated on for removal of a bone chip last winter. The Yanks' new centerfielder was Roy White, a 22-year-old rookie who has never played anything but second base before, Whitey Ford's sore arm was nowhere near as sore as his head-after he pitched seven innings against the Mets' Jacksonville farm club and gave...
