...quarterback, Daryle Lamonica personifies Oakland's humble, inconspicuous approach to this game. If there is another man as cagey as Lombardi, it is Raider boss Al Davis, and he has his team laying low. They will be psychologically ready when the time comes. In any case, Lamonica couldn't play worse than Dallas's Don Meredith did two weeks ago. We are betting he will be spectacular. If the game is close and low-scoring, as it should be, then Oakland's edge in both punting and place-kicking will also be important...
...HANDFUL OF THIEVES, by Nina Bawden (Lippincott; $3.50). In an effort to catch a cagey con man and robber, five English youngsters turn thieves and almost end up in jail. Exciting and amusing...

His steady outpouring of statements on everything and anything, often aimed a cagey centimeter or so to the left of the President's, attracts a growing array of voters who have been overexposed to Johnson. Bobby's forays to more than a dozen countries since he became a Senator, and such bold ploys as a speech on racial discrimination at the University...
