...renovators' secret weapon was the "drop-in," a stack of boxlike prefabricated units containing kitchen and bathroom. One by one, the units were lowered by a 250-ft. crane through holes cut in the roof and upper floors, and placed inside. Thus, each apartment got a brand-new, modern service core, including a 20-in. gas range, 10-cu.-ft. refrigerator, stainless-steel sink and complete bathroom with tub, shower, porcelain-finished bowl and toilet...
...Friendship. Even more frustrating is the common presidential illusion that a hand-picked appointee will vote the "right" way when he reaches the court. In 1902, the brand-new Justice Holmes crossed Teddy Roosevelt by voting against the Government in a trustbusting suit, prompting T. R. to snarl helplessly that Holmes had no more backbone than a banana. After Wilson appointed what he thought was the "liberal" James C. McReynolds in 1914, his protege became one of the court's alltime archconservatives. Does every man change when he dons those robes? "If he is any good, he does," said...
...Motor Co. production and sales. Donald N. Frey (pronounced Fry), Iacocca's assistant general manager and chief engineer, the man who actually designed the Mustang, succeeded his boss two years ago as Ford division general manager. Last week Frey, 44, moved even higher. He was promoted to the brand-new post of corporate vice president of North American vehicle product development. Frey is Detroit's sharpest idea man. Besides the Mustang, he is responsible for such innovations as the four-door Thunderbird, the stereo dashboard tape deck, and the station-wagon door that opens out as well...
...gape instead of emphathize--or remember. The poignant moments--like John Kennedy Jr.'s salute to his dead father outside of St. Matthew's Cathedral--are preserved. Utterly absurd events are related as well, but Manchester won't allow them to stand for themselves. He adds his own brand of brutal interpretation. He spends, for example, eight pages relating the difficulty Kennedy's staff had when they attempted to leave Parkland Hospital with the President's body and return quickly to Washington. The Dallas County Medical Examiner insisted that a standard, perfectly constitutional state law requiring an on-the-spot...
...team which hasn't won the pennant in seven years been as safe a bet to lead the National League as the Pittsburgh Pirates are in 1967. And seldom has it been so socially acceptable to root for such an overwhelming favorite. The Buccaneers play the majors' most exciting brand of ball, typified by MVP Roberto Clemente. The flashy Puerto Rican makes every catch in right field look tough, consistently throws behind baserunners, even to first, changes bats if a pitcher gets two strikes on him, and wins a couple of games a year by slapping a ninth-inning home...
