...Adams' friend and benefactor. That done, the Administration was stuck with whatever Goldfine might really turn out to be. What Bernard Goldfine turned out to be in his testimony last week before the House Special Subcommittee on Legislative Oversight (see Investigations) was a cheap and devious character-a fast man with a buck, whether to manipulate the financial fortunes of his numerous mills and real estate holdings or to distribute gifts to public employees, mostly little, who might do him some good in his chronic run-ins with Government...
...first hostage camp was Thomas Mosness, 22, a bespectacled Navy airman from Ames, Iowa. He had a .45-cal. pistol and gunbelt given him by his captors. He practices fast draw with the rebels, said he is 'just like one of them.' Further in the hills, I reached a main rebel headquarters, where the 26th of July [rebel] flag flies, a clerk typist pounds out war orders, and eight elderly civilian hostages live with no complaints.

But Australia's mercurial Mervyn Rose caught MacKay slew-footed with teasing volleys and adroitly angled passing shots, eliminated him 6-2, 6-4, 6-4. Though Rose wilted in a semifinal rout by Fellow Aussie Ashley Cooper, the men's final was an Australian crawl again for the third straight year, with Cooper beating Teammate Neale Fraser after...
...gate pulled away and the race began, Del Miller watched unhappily from the clubhouse. His mood changed fast. As the pacers whipped past the three-quarter mark, his O'Brien Hanover was in the lead with Thorpe Hanover close behind. Only a final burst to second place by Tommy Winn's Flying Time marred a straight one-two finish for Miller's Tar Heel colts. Their first and third took $67,310.62 of the total purse. Also in the money in fourth and fifth place: Adios' sons Raider Frost and Adios Paul. Quipped the New York...
