...Glassboro, N.J., Lyndon Johnson met Alexei Kosygin, one of the reigning triumvirate that replaced Khrushchev. Johnson devised an elaborate form of body language in an effort to convince Kosygin that he was dealing with a tough Texan. L.B.J. gave the Soviet one of his crusher handshakes, then hovered over the shorter Kosygin. Convinced that eye contact was a measure of a man's determination, Johnson locked eyes with Kosygin at one crucial point. Needing a sip of coffee, L.B.J. felt for his cup on the table rather than release his visual grip on Kosygin, who finally blinked and looked...
...crusher came in between a goal by Dartmouth's Pam Talley at the 4.35 mark of extra play, nearly set up by a centering pass from forward Radack. The Green defense steadied after that, as Harvard saw its season mark fall to 5-2-2, while Dartmouth's reached...
...very lucky, for I am now going to reveal to you a fact unknown to dozens of the nation's cleverest political pundits. About 15 years ago there was a chunk of malicious fat which managed to waddle its way out of the central scrublands of Georgia. Its name: Crusher Blackwell, all 572 pounds of it.

Often he would forget these pathetic rhymes when he was only half...
...Smith Goes to Washington. Pauline Kael once asked whether Frank Capra had an honest bone in his body. Even hearing the question is a crusher, for if Capra is a calculating manipulator, then who is left? To be sure, he was sly behind the camera: Graham Greene wrote that he was the best propagandist since Eisentstein. Greene's proof lay in Capra's exposition of Edward Arnold in his pictures. Hardly anyone has ever done justice to the memory of Arnold, Capra's bloated symbol of all that was wrong with America in three consecutive celebrations of his defeat...
...Pirates pack more power. They top the league in walloping balls over outfield walls. Slugger Willie Stargell is still on hand, but his heir apparent already looms large in the person of Dave Parker; the 6-ft. 5-in., 225-lb. crusher paces the team in home runs and RBis. The players often on base when Stargell and Parker come to bat are Manny Sanguillen and Rennie Stennett. Sanguillen tends to swing at everything-and rarely misses. Stennett tied a major league record recently with seven straight hits in the 22-0 demolition of the Chicago Cubs...
