...over / Do! and Holly, which last week were trying to get in shape for Broadway. The drawing power of / Do!'s two-man cast was sufficient to sell out in Boston and Washington, but Director Gower Champion was still dissatisfied with the show and detoured his company to Cincinnati for repairs. Variety's reviewer found the musical "transparent" and "flimsy," decided that it was more a concert performance than a show. So far, 30 pages of script have been doctored, four songs have been added and two dumped, but listeners have yet to spot a genuine hit tune...
Shoo-Out. Many Midwest G.O.P. victories resulted simply from general discontent with the Administration. Republicans gained five congressional seats in Ohio, where voters recalled all three of their Democratic freshmen, chief among them Cincinnati's capable John Gilligan, narrowly beaten (margin: 7,832 votes out of 131,340) by Robert Taft Jr.. son of Mr. Republican. In Iowa, where five Democrats swept out veteran Republican Congressmen in 1964, the only survivor was Representative John Culver, who had a weak challenger in Cedar Rapids Mayor Robert Johnson...
...when the Cincinnati Reds won the National League pennant, Outfielder Frank Robinson was such a bright young star (37 home runs, 124 runs batted in, .323 average), that baseball writers voted him the league's Most Valuable Player.

Last season Frank won the league's batting triple crown with 49 homers, 122 RBls, a .316 average, and led Baltimore to its first American...
Saliva All Around. At Cincinnati's little Xavier University last year, George Wilson Jr., 23, was strictly a second-stringer. How he ever got a chance to play pro ball with the Dolphins would be a mystery-if only the answer were not so obvious. But he has done wonders for nepotism. In the first quarter against the Broncos, George Jr. tossed a 67-yd. touchdown pass; the Dolphins, after nine straight exhibition and regular-season losses, destroyed Denver 24-7. Last week against the Houston Oilers, he completed all four passes he attempted-including...
...tight money it has brought. High construction costs forced South Dakota to delay a $125,000 building for a school for the blind; a $70.5 million New Orleans expressway project was held up a second time when no underwriters could be found; bond issues were deferred in Cincinnati because interest rates were just too steep...
