...with a mind cluttered by requirements for 1-in. floor boards, two-by-four framing and 42-in.-high walls? Can he grow into the resourceful, inventive, self-sufficient man he's expected to be by the Mr. Munsons of the world when he's told to climb no higher than 12 ft. off the ground? So Mr. Munson fell out of a tree house as a child, and cut his arm. May he do so again-but this time from a 5-in.-diameter hardwood branch! And may he land-rump first -on a 16-penny nail...
...talk of California Governor Ronald Reagan's ascendant star in the Republican Party, the Gallup poll last week suggested he still had far to climb. The poll showed Richard Nix on maintaining a commanding lead among the Republican rank and file as a presidential preference. Nixon was the choice of 39% of Republicans polled, trailed by Michigan's Governor George Romney with 25%. But both have slipped a bit since the last sampling in May, while Reagan, who came in third, has increased his support from 7% to 11%. That places him one point ahead of New York...
Last week, as the Tour set out from Marseille for the climb up 6,273-ft. Mont Ventoux, Tom Simpson, 29, who in 1965 became the first Briton to win bike racing's world championship, was in the lead pack.

There the group lunched at El Prenso restaurant on shrimp and broiled sea bass, looked over a possible building site on the coast, and then emplaned, supposedly for the return flight to Palma. The jet had barely completed the climb out from Iviza when Pilot David Taylor, 32, radioed to the Palma air-control center: "I am being forced at gunpoint by passengers to change route to Algeria." Less than an hour later...
Even pets were affected. Said a dachshund-laden woman on one stairway: "I don't dare let him climb. They got discs, you know." In some buildings, striking service employees-among the few New York workers who actually have a sense of service-winked at the labor laws and carried their favorite tenants up in the elevators anyway. Many apartment-based professional men, forced to close their offices, threatened to sue striking Local 32B and/or the landlords for their losses. On the other hand, a psychiatrist on Central Park West kept up his thriving practice by couching his patients...
