...least, Nixon's campaign appeared equally quiescent. As New Mexico's moderate Governor David Cargo put it: "Reagan's rapidly replacing Dick Nixon in one wing of the party." The Californian's growing popularity was glaringly evident earlier in the week, when 13 Western Governors-eleven of them Republicans-met in the village of West Yellowstone, Mont., just across the Wyoming border from Old Faithful. Fresh from an enthusiastic reception from the conservative Young Republicans in Omaha, Reagan breezed into the Yellowstone meeting "like a man on a white charger," as McCall...
...Nobody ever got further with less talent," Eddie Stanky has said of his eleven-year playing career in the majors-during which he batted only .268 but played in three World Series and earned a well-deserved reputation as the meanest, toughest, loudest scrapper in the business.

"All the nuts and kooks have been weeded out," says President Roy E. Foulke of the National Air Carrier Association, spokesman for the supplementals. "We've got a hard-core group of operators...
Marvin eventually wins respect from them and from his superiors, but only after the mission has been accomplished-at a terrible cost. The first of the twelve dies as they parachute into occupied France. The other eleven stay alive long enough to enter the target, a huge château staffed and stuffed with German brass. Abruptly the place begins to chatter with crossfire and exploding grenades. One by one, the dirty dozen get knocked off as they kill most of the officers and blow the building to bits in some of the loudest, bloodiest battle scenes since Darryl Zanuck...
