...Snooping on each other is standard operating procedure for both the Russian and U.S. navies. The Russians scoop up garbage dumped from U.S. warships in search of intelligence clues, use trawlers loaded with electronic equipment off Guam and in the Tonkin Gulf to monitor movements of U.S. warplanes and warn their friends in Viet Nam of their approach. The U.S., on the other hand, routinely buzzes Russian cargo ships on the way to Viet Nam for a customs inspection of sorts, tracks Russian submarines in the Mediterranean and elsewhere until they pop to the surface. Last week, however, this sort...
Cleopatra. From high school in 1943, the Great Carsoni joined the Navy V12 program, served aboard the U.S.S. Pennsylvania and later in Guam.

Returning to Houston, he became city treasurer and chief administrative officer in four years. Then he joined College...

California's Republican Governor Ronald Reagan, in office just 100 days as of this week, has already paid three visits to Washington. President Johnson, only recently back from Guam, heads off this week to the Uruguayan resort of Punta del Este for a meeting with Latin American heads of state. Of all the potential candidates, only New York's Republican Governor Nelson Rockefeller stayed put-waiting to see how the others...
...season's start was still three weeks away, but in New York, Mickey Mantle's conversion from outfielder to first baseman-and his subsequent stop of a sizzling grounder in an exhibition game-competed for attention with President Johnson's return from Guam. Column after column chronicled the comeback attempt of Yankee Pitcher Whitey Ford, 38, who underwent surgery for a circulatory blockage after a sorry 2-5 season in 1966. Ford was not going to sign his 1967 contract until he tested his repaired arm in spring training; the World Champion Baltimore Orioles bombed...
