They were underrated at that, as far as Missouri's Coach Dan Devine was concerned. Dan's scouts had watched U.C.L.A. demolish Pittsburgh (57-14) and Syracuse (31-12) on successive Saturdays, and he was ready to concede that "U.C.L.A. is the best team in the country" -better than No. 1-ranked Michigan State-even before Missouri played the Bruins last week. Devine's Tigers were undefeated, they had sharpened their claws on Minnesota (24-0) and Illinois (21-14) of the Big Ten. They were 14-point underdogs at Los Angeles, and while they did better...
...fight for their clients' claims before an impartial tribunal in a contest that idealists bill as a search for truth. In U.S. criminal trials, however, the search can be more of a game of bluff, suspense and surprise, with both sides trying to spring unexpected evidence that can demolish the unwary.

Creaky old French trams still clatter by in trains of twos and threes punctually every ten minutes-unless stopped in their tracks, as happens ever more frequently when U.S. planes demolish a nearby power source...
...President Sukarno's already weakened position. Sukarno had apparently hoped to persuade the military to reverse the policy of Foreign Minister Adam Malik, who has been openly demanding an end to konfrontasi. But the fact that the "Crush Malaysia" commanders themselves undertook an independent peace mission seemed to demolish that hope. The military's action, in fact, buttresses Malik's position as he leaves this week for Bangkok to begin formal talks with Abdul Razak for bringing peace between the two countries...
