Utmost Concern. Richard Nixon last week enlisted a 20-man task force to explore the problems of law enforcement. The National Governors' Conference, meeting in Cincinnati, adopted a resolution "recognizing crime in the streets of America as a problem which demands the utmost concern and attention of all Americans." For all their concern and attention, however, the Governors refused to endorse gun-control legislation, which is favored by police chiefs around the country. "Gun control isn't going to solve the problem," said Georgia's Lester Maddox. "Punishment and apprehension is the answer...
...forgetting people's names but not letting it bother him: "Hiya . . . Best of luck and all the way ... Hi, girls, that's the way ... Gee, great... I wanta tell ya, yes, sir."

Going into the All-Star break, only twelve batters in both leagues were above the .300 mark, and only two of them-Pittsburgh's Matty Alou (.344) and Cincinnati's Pete Rose (.329)-were hitting over .320. Atlanta's Henry Aaron, a lifetime .316 hitter, is currently batting .248; Pittsburgh's Roberto Clemente, a four-time batting champion, is chopping at .252. Six National League and 13 American League regulars are batting under...
