Gleason and Hope once played a charity match in Florida. Hope dumped three shots in the water on the ninth hole...
...program is large and complex. One of its greatest problems has been a lack of coordination between the many government agencies involved: the Departments of Justice, State, Labor, and Health, Education and Welfare, plus the Coast Guard (which still picks up about 35 Cubans floating to Florida in "boats" each month), the CIA, and the FBI. But recently the government's efforts have been centralized under the U.S. Cuban Refugee Program, a branch of HEW.

Last week's price hikes are not likely to be the last. When demand picks up as expected, companies in many other areas almost certainly will raise prices to alleviate their profit squeeze. Moreover, labor leaders meeting in Florida last week were moaning over the lag in buying power brought on by the rising cost of living. They made it clear that they are looking for fat settlements in 1968, when contracts expire in such major industries as aluminum, aerospace, rail, telephone, shipping, coal mining, and-inevitably-steel...
