...Complaint. North Carolina fans have no complaint, and none pretended it was any accident that there were so many misplaced Northerners in town. In 1953, when Carolina decided to beef up its team to make it a match for neighboring Duke, Wake Forest and North Carolina State, the Chapel Hill authorities sent for Frank Joseph McGuire, blue-eyed, wavy-haired son of a New York City cop. After five years as coach at St. John's University, McGuire had a readymade network of high-school coaches anxious to ship him the fanciest talent from the basketball breeding grounds around...

Something for Everybody. They made friends with the tough Cao Dai warlords and worked for several months in Red-held areas, where the commonest complaint was a bullet in the belly. Occasionally they met half-naked hill tribesmen armed with bow and arrow. They worked in Saigon's shantytowns among prostitutes and opium smokers, went among the leprosy patients at Phu Quoc, where doctors and nurses had no modern medicines...

Cardinal Mindszenty may be a hero to millions of Roman Catholics, and non-Catholics as well, but many Vatican insiders are currently critical of him. Their complaint: his "very definite lack of prudence." First count against him: allowing himself to be photographed saying Mass in the U.S. legation close to an American flag. Second: assigning his aide, Msgr. Egon Turchanyi, to smuggle out of Hungary a message for U.S. Cardinal Spellman.

Flaw. The Government's case, as set forth in the complaint, was meager. It merely said that competition between the two companies would be eliminated in coke-oven byproducts, pig iron and semifinished steel products, but presented few specific details to show how, made no mention of the fact that even after the merger, Beth Steel would still be far smaller than U.S. Steel. Said a Justice man: "In this case you're losing the independent competing activity of the sixth biggest company in the industry. What more do you need than that...
