Peering around at a Times Square depopulated by the nationwide civil defense alert last week (see cut), New York's Mayor Robert Wagner appeared wan and haggard. Wagner recently underwent an operation for a nonmalignant tumor, but his troubled look could have had another cause. With his political future-and a possible third term-already clouded over by a canyon-sized Democratic split between Tammany Hall and Manhattan reformers, Wagner was grimly aware that Republican Governor Nelson Rockefeller's State Investigation Commission was pawing over his old friendship with George Sanders, owner of a sightseeing ship line that...

Doggy Details. First in the dock was ex-President Bayar, 77, still haggard from his suicide attempt last month. Bayar, onetime comrade-in-arms of the late great Kemal Ataturk, was charged with treason for ruling dictatorially in violation of the Turkish constitution. But the army regime was first anxious to destroy whatever prestige Bayar still has, and it began with an accusation astonishingly petty. On a state visit to Afghanistan, Bayar had received an Afghan hound as a present from the King. He brought it back to Turkey and put it into the Ankara zoo. Subsequently, says the prosecution...
