...package. Few members of the Johnson Administration would be grudge him his prize. Washington learned the mettle of the Filipinos a decade ago, when they won their own counterinsurgency war without foreign troops, and may find their experience even more relevant today. As Marcos remarked to the National Press Club last week, suppressing the rebels involved a two-pronged approach-"total war against the Communists and total friendship to the people, who may be misled and who constitute the mass base of Communism." Where the U.S. is failing in Viet Nam, in his view, is in its economic-development program...
Though there is some basis for the view that Bing could be a bit more versatile in his programming, he is not the stuffed shirt some detractors make him out to be. Last year he launched the Metropolitan National Company, a sort of touring farm club for the Met, to "perform the kind of out-of-the-ordi-nary works that the Metropolitan cannot do," such as Rossini's La Cenerentola and Carlisle Floyd's Susannah. Perhaps the best indication of his flexibility...
True in His Fashion. Littler is nothing if not true to himself. He did his level best to lose the World Series, but it just wasn't enough. On the final day, going into the 625-yd. par-five 16th hole at the Firestone Country Club, he was leading Geiberger by two strokes, Nicklaus and Casper by four. So what did Gene do?

Pitcher Mel Stottlemyre, a 20-game winner last year, is a 17-game loser this season. Leftfielder Tom Tresh, a .279 hitter in 1965, is batting .238. The team as a whole is batting .237. They have lost 33 games by a margin of one run, and they have been unable even to beat their old patsies, the Washington Senators and the California Angels...
...Mantle has missed 42 games with assorted aches and pains, and Roger Maris has been playing for three months with a torn leg muscle so painful that he cannot run out the infield grounders he now hits so consistently. Still, Yankee teams have been hard hit before: the 1949 club, for example, survived a succession of 71 separate injuries and won a pennant for Manager Casey Stengel-the first of ten he collected in his twelve years with the Yanks...
