...cocked his arm and lobbed an option pass 25 yards downfield, where the mammoth (6-2, 240) Varney waited behind two defenders. Gatto's pass drifted over the guards and disappeared, like a grape, into the end's paws. The dash to the goal line was anti-climactic. But except for this drive, the first offense was stymied most of the afternoon...
...Except for dovish Sen. Joseph D. Tydings's personal organization, anti-administration liberals are unorganized. Suburban Washington's Montgomery County served as a McCarthy base in this politically Southern state where George Wallace did so well in the 1964 presidential primary vote (forty-two per cent). Baltimore is still very much a machine stronghold. New Democratic Coalition national forces hope to organize a liberal-reform group in a coalition with an emerging black leadership before the 1970 election to help re-elect Tydings and give some clout to lightweight liberals...
...berry R.F.D. (CBS) is a revised version of The Andy Griffith Show. The new star, Ken Berry, carries on in the tradition: he is a widower in love with a bakery employee (Arlene Golonka).

British pounds constitute the main reserve asset for the 66-member sterling area, which consists of British dependencies and Commonwealth members (except Canada), plus Ireland, several Arab and a few Asian states. When Britain devalued the pound last November, the value of these other countries' reserves fell 14.3% overnight...
...Suicide Academy is left as a palatial metaphor hardly explored and barely furnished. It is largely unpeopled, too, except for Wolf's assistant, a splendidly grotesque, wasp-tongued Negro named Gilliatt. Archly antiSemitic, he quotes upbeat Talmudic texts to needle Wolf, and continually accuses him of secretly sabotaging the academy's sacred neutrality in favor of life. Gilliatt reasons that the Jews invented resurrection and so are rotten with humanitarian sympathy. Gilliatt may be the best bit-part player of the literary year...
