...cautious police attitude led quickly to charges that they were allowing violence to occur without interfering. The following night, police, aided by stewards, actively tried to break up gangs of black youths who were menacing black and white passersby. The bullyboys turned on the cops and stewards, showering them with stones, bricks and bottles. Then an order went out: "Move forward! Plenty of noise, lads." Phalanxes of goggled police, whooping and beating their 5-ft. plastic riot shields with batons, charged through mobs of petrified teenagers. When the battle ended half an hour later, the day's injuries totaled...
...severe strain, but many families think the value of their home is bound to jump. Even if it does, the profit is only on paper until the house is resold, and most families will then have to buy another house at inflated prices. But they do get a big break; profit on the sale of a house is not taxed at all if it is reinvested in another home within a year.

Triumphantly holding aloft a second-base bag just torn from the San Diego Stadium ground by his exultant teammates, Left Fielder Lou Brock of the St. Louis Cardinals last week celebrated the breaking of one of baseball's most enduring records.

Some budding Buchwalds and Trudeaus have tried to syndicate themselves. Former Buchwald Partner Robert Yoakum wrote his own humor column for the Los Angeles Times Syndicate from 1972 to 1975; since then he has successfully sold it on his own-to twice as many newspapers. But few would-be Yoakums can afford the start-up costs that technology now demands; a major syndicate transmits a feature instantaneously...
...indeed that one of the chains the Chilean people will have to break through if they are to be free is U.S. economic support for the junta. Unless, of course, the people of this country join in the fight against the junta and all it stands for. In his last speech before he died, Allende told the people of Chile his death would not be in vain. It is up to us, in part, to make sure...
