...Wright. Regular Rightfielder Al Kaline, eleven times an All-Star, has been out of action since May 25 with a broken arm. Third Baseman Don Wert is recovering from a concussion, the result of a scalping in Cleveland last week. Leftfielder Willie Horton (.287, 18 homers) wears a brace to support his weak Achilles tendon. All-Star Catcher Bill Freehan is playing with a sore arm. Outfielder Jim Northrup with a sore knee, and Centerfielder Mickey Stanley with a sore arm plus a sore knee...

Rumor has it that he was trying to break his recording contract with Columbia because he had wanted the two records of Blonde on Blonde to be released individually instead of in a package. He lived in Woodstock, New York, making a new film...
...because of an irksome back ailment. He returned to law practice in Manhattan, although repeated summonses to Washington for troubleshooting missions scarcely left him time for his legal career. The grueling Paris negotiations will tax Vance's health even more severely than his previous assignments. Despite the orthopedic brace he wears, his back is often so painful that he cannot bend to tie his shoelaces...
