Warmup for the 1970s. Cincinnati is a river city of long hot summers and long-suffering fans, whose loyalty has been rewarded by only four pennants and two World Series victories in the 94 years since they joined the National League. But everyone in town agrees that the long lackluster century was just a warmup for the 1970s. By playing .700 ball into the last of July, the Cincinnati Reds have made a farce out of the league's western division race. Last week they led second-place Los Angeles by 11½ games. Third-place Atlanta...

...raising over Iwo Jima, that heroic image of World War II. "Hell," said one Marine, "a man could get himself killed doing that." "Within the kids' lifetimes, this flag hasn't stood for the things it stood for when John Glenn and I were young." says Allen Brown, a Cincinnati lawyer. "The flag then was still the flag of the dream. It's hard for us to understand kids who have only a book idea of the flag. They didn't see men die within the framework of that idealism of World War II. It's as if people...
