...years ago. The pride of the Celtics was Bill Russell (6 ft. 10 in.), the N.B.A.'s four-time Most Valuable Player, a brooding defensive genius who gobbles sleeping pills and vomits from tension before every game. The pillar of the 76'ers was Wilt The Stilt Chamberlain, a giant (7 ft. 1-1/16 in.) among giants, who has scored as many as 100 points in a single game, who calls everybody "baby," including his lavender Bentley, and whose bitterness about the game almost equals his success...

...properly hedge on the soundness of Fulbright's bridges-to-Commu-nism formula with the reminder that everyone may not agree with him as to "the facts we must look in the face." When Chamberlain returned from Munich to deliver to cheering Britons his "peace in our time" formula, he no doubt believed he was looking facts in the face. He may even have devoted the next day to lecturing Churchill on "myths and realities"! HENRY MAYERS Los Angeles
