...evolved during the week, it became increasingly evident that future raids against North Viet Nam will not be carried out on a strict tit-for-tat basis-a dubious strategy that has deprived Washington and Saigon of the initiative. Thus the war in Viet Nam has taken on a brand-new dimension-and can never again be quite the same...
...York City's brand-new subway was hailed as the growing edge of progress in 1904, when the first train pulled out of City Hall Station with the mayor at its sterling-silver throttle and a load of top-hatted dignitaries who made the nine-mile run to 145th Street and Broadway in 26 minutes. Today, the littered cars, clashing and swaying through the underground dark, packed torso to torso or eerie with emptiness, have increasingly become hunting grounds for the city's sick and sinister creatures of prey. Complaints of major crimes increased 9% in the city...
Right Combination. Defense is really Mullaney's brand of basketball. He developed the "combination," one of the most complicated defenses in modern basketball. Mullaney calls it "a man-to-man defense with zone principles."

Discredited as he was by two quick knockouts at the hands of Sonny Liston, Floyd Patterson, 30, is still one of the most interesting fighters ever to climb into a ring: a problem child, a moody, monkish man who at 21 became the youngest heavyweight champion ever, without even becoming a real heavyweight. Floyd weighed 182¼; lbs. when he knocked out Archie Moore in 1956; for last week's fight he weighed 197¼ lbs., the heaviest of his career-and the bulge of fat around...
...often provoking new group of U.S. novelists who were unpublished or all but unnoticed a few years ago These writers demand attention with a maverick, inventive, acidulously adult outlook that delights in salting the sores and needling the niceties of the megaton-megalopolis age. They deserve notice because their brand of comedy is so clearly not the saccharine hilarity packaged by commercial laff merchants not the bad-boy snigger of contemporary bedroom farce. Nor does it necessarily appeal even to sophisticated tastes; it is for those who prefer mountain brooks to mainstreams. But it is strong, dark laughter, echoing...
