...cannot run for a third term, is an odds-on bet to try for the Senate. Private polls show him running slightly ahead of Mrs. Solomon. But Oregon Democrats are not a one-woman organization, and their candidate against Hatfield will most likely be six-term Congresswoman Edith Green, 55. A poll by the Portland Oregonian gave her a slight lead over Hatfield...
...resulting scramble was like Dunkirk in miniature. Despite ten-foot waves in the Straits, Castro officials were climbing all over the boatmen, prodding them on their way. "I told them my boat just couldn't make it," reported one exile, "but they said, 'You have the green light-go.' " Out on the open sea, the exile's cabin cruiser began taking water; a U.S. Coast Guard cutter hovering near by had to rescue everyone aboard.

While the ineffable Judge Brown made good use of "a green cuspidor strategically located by his left foot," he rejected virtually every defense objection, say the authors. D.A.

Neither, apparently, is NBC. It has given him the green light for every one of his ambitious plans. In the meantime Davis stays up late and dreams aloud: "I'm not going to do a variety show.

When Sean Connery comes on, he's going to sing There Is Nothing Like a Dame the way he used to do when...
...magnitude of the tragedy will be painfully apparent to the reader of this collection of stories. Author Porter has superb natural gifts. She has irony, she has imagery, she has language. "Her style," wrote Glenway Wescott, "is perfection. It just covers its subject matter as if it were green grass growing on a lawn." Above all, she can think-and therein lies her principal problem. She sees her characters less as people who must live than as problems to be solved. There is too little warmth and softness in her art. But hardness endures, and six or eight...
