Still, the Tigers keep winning-nine straight games at the season's start, 24 of their last 36. Pitcher Denny Mc-Lain, 24, who wore spectacles last season and lost 16 games while winning 17, has switched to contact lenses. "I'm seeing things I didn't see before," he says, and his record this season shows visible improvement: a league-leading 14-2. The unreliability of Detroit's other front-line pitchers is offset by the strength of its bullpen: among them, Relievers Pat Dobson, Jon Warden, John Killer and Fred Lasher boast a record...

There is no need for contact, none of the effort required to stab or bludgeon a human being...
There is a grim possibility that yet another candidate will become a target. What to do? Stop crowd contact, use sealed cars, exploit TV to the exclusion of almost every other campaign tactic? In the Los Angeles aftermath, a stricken Eugene McCarthy pondered: "Maybe we should do it in a different way. Maybe we should have the English system of having the Cabinet choose the President. There must be some other way." But most politicians-including highly vulnerable Richard Nixon, Nelson Rockefeller, Hubert Humphrey and John Lindsay-emphatically veto such suggestions.
