Then you look at Boston's pitching, and you wonder how the team has gone so far with so little. Jim Lonborg, it is true, has been phenomenal, and is the winningest pitcher in the majors. Gary Bell, who was acquired from Cleveland in a trade, has won six games for the Sox, but it is highly doubtful that he will keep it up. The other starters--Lee Stange, Gary Waslewski, and Darrell Brandon--run the gamut from mediocre to awful...
...Sheep. After a riot, complaints of "police brutality" are as inevitable as insurance claims. Often they are justified, for appallingly few U.S. cops are trained in riot control. In Newark, well-drilled state troopers took over in many places from the ineffective city police and National Guardsmen. During Cleveland's 1966 eruption, cops with inadequate training were alternately too lenient and too rough with the rampaging residents of Hough. New York's 28,000-man force, more than twice as big as any other in the nation, is also among the most thoroughly drilled in riot control. Commissioner...
...beginning, all cars were roofless carriages that exposed their hardy riders to billowing dust, scorching sunshine and drenching rain. Soon pioneers of the automobile spread a canvas canopy over their heads, and the convertible was born. The Peerless Motor Car Corp. of Cleveland introduced its Cape Folding Top in 1905; the "California top"-a removable steel roof with glazed windows-came along in the '20s to decorate the touring car. For the young at heart, whizzing down a highway in an open convertible became the epitome of driving fun. Plymouth made a big hit with prewar youth by bringing...
...Angeles ghetto of Watts went berserk in 1965 after an unemployed high school dropout named Marquette Frye was arrested for drunken driving. In six days of rioting, 35 died, 900 were injured. In 1966, the Cleveland ghetto of Hough erupted when a white bartender denied a glass of ice water to a Negro patron. And in Newark, N.J., a trumpet-playing Negro cab driver by the name of John Smith last week became the random spark that ignited the latest-and one of the most violent-of U.S. race riots...
...diversified as it has become, TRW refuses to consider itself a conglomerate for the simple reason that its product lines are so compatible. With main facilities still divided between Cleveland (Thompson) and Los Angeles (Ramo-Wooldridge), the company manufactures automobile parts (pistons, valves, fuel pumps) and aircraft components (turbine wheels, hydraulic pumps) in the East, turns out most of its aerospace and electronic gear in the West. The tidy mix brings TRW 56% of its sales from commercial and industrial customers, 44% from Government contracts...
