...because they felt the tight-fisted management of M. Donald Grant was shortchanging the team out of any possibility of pennant contention. The fracas that ensued among the local hacks was almost as intense as the dissension within the team. The Post called for the board of directors to dump Grant and manager Joe Frazier; Dick Young in the News said Grant should get rid of Tom Seaver, Jon Matlack, Dave Kingman and the rest of the "crybabies." Venerable Red Smith of the Times thought this indictment of Seaver, a three-time Cy Young award winner, a bit harsh; Young...
TIME Senior Correspondent John Steele, then the TIME-LIFE Washington bureau chief, remembers how Adams got the word. After hearing from Alcorn, Ike agreed to dump Adams.

California's refreshed farmers reveled in the rain, and mountain ski operators romped in the snow-but federal weather experts warned of ominous signs that the blocking pressure "high" might be reforming. It was also clear that...
...Town Dump. All of this would seem preposterous if Author Hales did not charm the reader with the earthiness of his hell. There are no fork-wielding demons and no brimstone. It is only in the town dump that "the fire is not quenched and the worm dieth not." Though Hales draws many of his characters from Dante's subterranean aristocracy, he sketches them with fresh wit. Cleopatra, for instance, has something of an American accent because she has been "surrounded, for the last hundred years at least, more by Americans than British...
