...been winning games by hook and by crook," coach Loyal Park said. "I have to come right out and admit we're not hitting. We've built a 13-2 record on bunting, stealing, hit-and-run, and taking advantage of errors. That can't go on forever. What we need now is a three or four game stretch where we tear the cover off the ball...
...South Viet Nam and Cambodia. With the advent of the dry season, they have made fuller use of the trail than ever before (see box. page 28). American commanders have longed to cut the trail ever since the U.S. entered the war. Contingency plans providing for everything from hit-and-run attacks to a permanent troop barrier across the route were drawn up in 1965, but there were formidable arguments against such moves. Aside from the political consequences, there was the fact that at least two divisions might be needed to secure the trail for any length of time...
...their religion around their necks like Kinsolving, though. What disturbs many, notes George Collins of the Boston Globe, is the fact that Kinsolving's column is just about the only religion reporting that is seen by many small-town readers.

Does the pursuer fall in love with his quarry-as Belmondo did with Deneuve in Mississippi Mermaid! The villain's mistress (Caroline Cellier) is a lodestar of beauty and melancholia. Naturally, Charles is smitten...
Since April, Weatherman-type gangs of young men and women have made almost daily hit-and-run attacks throughout Calcutta. They have ambushed three police vehicles, killing one policeman and injuring three. One gang stabbed a schoolteacher to death. A plainclothes cop was chased and killed by a knife-wielding mob. Nine movie houses showing an anti-Chinese film were attacked, their audiences routed. Public buses and trams were firebombed. Naxalites ransacked a printing plant handling a U.S. Government account, and sacked the local Ford Foundation office...
