Beginning last February, Marvin showed what his way was. He broke all traditions by beginning a campaign to win election to the overseers...
Nobody's On Top. If his fears prove founded in fact, Browne will be missing a reporter's nightmare-a country where reliable sources of any sort are all but nonexistent, where vital communications and transportation are spotty at their best. One Saigon bureau chief recently broke in new hands by telling them that all he had to offer was "crud, fret and jeers. The crud, he said, is indigenous and ubiquitous; the fret results from the job's unavoidable frustrations; the jeers would come from visiting columnists, Congressmen and assorted other critics, all convinced that they...
Shuffling the Standings. After a plague of misfortune and mismanagement had put it three years behind schedule, the Surveyor success was doubly sweet.

The second-stage Centaur-the first liquid-hydrogen rocket-had several mishaps and had flown only one completely successful mission before last week's shot.

Freak ailments have been Juan's bugaboo ever since he broke into the big leagues. In 1961 he pitched his second one-hitter (against the Los Angeles Dodgers), but wound up with only 13 wins, ten losses when he was spiked in the leg trying to cover first base. In 1962 it was a twisted ankle that disabled him for 30 days-though he still posted...
