...continuing public affairs series include The Advocates, a mock-trial show grappling with nettlesome subjects like last week's "Should the Government drop charges against Dr. Daniel Ellsberg?" Top-level advocates are always on the dock (the premiere about Ellsberg featured ex-Senator Ernest Gruening and Professor Noam Chomsky), but in the past the program has as often sensationalized or trivialized public debate as it has illuminated...
...Pirates scored first and early, stealing three runs on one hit in the second inning after a walk, a wild pitch and two errors by the usually impeccable Baltimore defense. But in the Baltimore half of the same inning, Frank Robinson opened with a home run off Pittsburgh Starter Dock Ellis; in the third, Merv Rettenmund unloaded another, this time with two men on. A final Oriole home run by Don Buford in the fifth made it 5-3, ending the scoring-and the Pirates' hopes...
Echoing Glenn Seaborg's anticipation of U.S.-Soviet collaboration in atomic research, NASA officials announced that the two nations were planning a joint space mission that could come as early as 1974. The most likely first step, Americans and Soviet planners decided, will be to dock an Apollo spacecraft with a Russian space station similar to the Salyut now in orbit. Following this, the space scientists envision a link-up between a Soyuz spacecraft and an American Skylab scheduled for launch...
...Japan and the Soviet Union. Inside their holds lay cargo amounting to hundreds of thousands of tons, some of it already spoiled, consigned to destinations all over the U.S. In all, some 150 freighters have been rendered a Pacific mothball fleet by a strike of 15,000 West Coast dock workers.

The major issue of the strike is neither wages nor benefits -though the union wants hefty increases in both-but a jurisdictional dispute with another union. At stake is the job of "stuffing and unstuffing" containers near the dock, an operation that increasingly is being handled by Teamster employees of freight-forwarding companies. San Francisco Teamster Boss Joseph Diviny has notified freight firms that his union has "no intention of giving up the work" and calls Bridges' claim that all dock labor belongs to longshoremen "a lot of baloney...
