...guess we need help," admitted Coach George Wilson Sr. For all the careful planning and cute pep talks ("Let's win one for the Flipper"), his Miami Dolphins, playing their first sea son in the American Football League, still had not won a game. Quarterback Rick Norton, a $300,000 bonus rookie from the University of Kentucky, had been intercepted six times in five games. The Miami offense was averaging only 14 points a game, and the defense was taking a pounding. "Those poor boys no sooner come off the field and sit down," sighed Coach Wilson, "than...

In exchange for two future draft choices, he picked up Fullback Cookie Gilchrist, whose off-field antics got him in trouble with both the Buffalo Bills and Denver Broncos - although he led the A.F.L. in rushing (with 1,096 yds.) in 1963.

Unable to run down a single clue to the Strangler's identity, the police in desperation tried to track him with the aid of an advanced, solid-state computer, and finally-in the most bizarre touch of all -enlisted the help of people claiming to have extrasensory perception...
Frustrated by this situation, Stevenson accepted Senator Paul Douglas' offer of second billing on the Democratic slate. (There's no Illinois gubernatorial election this year.) Douglas, who is in a rough contest with Charles Percy, felt that Stevenson's name would, indeed, help the ticket. Chicago's Mayor Richard J. Daley agreed to the nomination in spite of Stevenson's endorsement, last spring, of Abner Mikva, who made a bold though unsuccessful bid to unseat one of Daley's men in the U.S. House of Representatives...
