...Capitol Hill. But in 1964, the only Republican on Mississippi's congressional ballot scored the state's greatest political upset in memory: Prentiss Walker, a hard-shell poultry farmer, ousted William Arthur Winstead, who had been in the House for 22 years. In rural Georgia, Republican Howard ("Bo") Callaway, a slick-campaigning textile millionaire, topped former Lieutenant Governor Garland T. Byrd, who was hurt by Johnson even though he had refused to go even halfway for L.B.J. In Alabama's eight districts, the G.O.P. put up candidates in six, won five. The victors: W. Jack ("Thank...

...Angeles and Detroit also have great spoiler potential. Jim Fregosi, who is a strong contender in the rookie-of-the-year derby against hot shots Conigliaro and Oliva, may be the best hitter in the Angels' abbreviated history, and should be able to help even Bo Belinsky win more than women. The Tigers haven't changed much, but they always had their share of Yalnkee meat in the past...
