...biggest problem this year," Harvard pitching coach Bob Lincoln said, "is to find a number one stopper and a number four starter. We've got to find that one man we can count on to go out on any given day and win for us. And we have to find a fourth man in our starting rotation," he said...
...many parts of the U.S., General William Westmoreland's role as commander in the Viet Nam War would count against him in any try for public office. But in South Carolina, which abounds with hawks and military installations, that record is a definite plus-so much so that after he retired two years ago and returned to his home state, both parties courted him to run for Governor (TIME, Jan. 21).
