...nation's marathon airline strike last week reached almost comic proportions, but nobody felt much like laughing. After collective bargaining broke down, President Roy Siemiller of the striking International Association of Machinists agreed to urge his 35,400 members to submit the dispute to binding arbitration. That seemed a sensible enough way to end the strike without having Congress vote the machinists back to work, but it must have been too sensible. Siemiller conferred with his underlings and A.F.L.-C.l.O. Chairman George Meany, then backed down and ruled out voluntary arbitration. Later in the week, said angered Labor Secretary...
...Wharton World." The F.D.R.-Lucy relationship, writes Daniels, was "an affair which almost broke his marriage to Eleanor." So tense did life on N Street become that in 1917 Mrs. Roosevelt put off going to the family's retreat at Campobello Island off the Maine coast, and then "evidently, when she was gone, wrote of her sense of unwantedness." In a return letter from Washington, F.D.R. assured her: "You were a goosy girl to think or even pretend to think that I don't want you here all the summer, because you know I do! But, honestly...
...stories aim to pinpoint trends not yet widely reported, and often turn out to be a scoop when printed. Last month a leader broke the news that a 71-lb. television camera developed by Westinghouse is scheduled to go along on the first U.S. mission to the moon and telecast the trip live.

Starting Pitcher Steve Blass sometimes forgets he has a glove; last week he fielded two hot grounders barehanded and broke a bone. Outfielder Willie Stargell has trouble ordering in restaurants, because he speaks a language all his own: "Gospel bird" is fried chicken, and "jungle plum" is watermelon. All four Pirates are charter members of an "in" group that calls itself the Black Maxes, awards clichés-that...
...gain exactly 4 yds. before 240-lb. Packer Linebacker Ray Nitschke borrowed his right foot for a brief demonstration of isometrics and sent him limping to the sideline. Grabowski was held to 11 yds. in four carries, and Southern California's Mike Garrett, the 1965 Heisman Trophy winner, broke loose for a total of 19 yds. On the sideline, All-Star Coach John Sauer was still screaming, "Come on, defense!" as the clock ran out on a score of 38-0-the worst trouncing an All-Star team had taken since the Philadelphia Eagles won by the identical score...
