Around the Horn. In Newcastle, Australia, awakened by police from a sound snooze in the front seat of his car in the middle of the street, Albert T. Jeans indignantly complained...
...TIME, May 4) and is due up soon in the House. While Hoffa's aides in Washington were buttonholing Congressmen in an effort to kill or soften the bill-aimed principally at the Teamsters' own flagrant abuses of power-Boss Hoffa popped into Nashville to blow the horn not only on the legislation but on his archenemy, A.F.L.-C.I.O. President George Meany. There, before a surprisingly thin crowd of Teamster members, Hoffa called Meany a "traitor" for supporting the Kennedy bill, cockily challenged him to a Hoffa-Meany vote of confidence throughout organized labor with the loser...
This in itself could be labeled just so much horn blowing in a traffic jam, but the effect of Hoffa's campaign, both in Washington and the field, was to embarrass the A.F.L.-C.I.O., which kicked Hoffa out a year and a half ago.

But even they have strained and labored moments, and certain minor cast members have no moments of any other kind. John Lasell plays the hired man with...
First Blood. Young Clements' blooding came in his second performance. In Nuevo Laredo, before an Easter-week crowd, a bull slashed at him, and the horn pierced his groin, requiring seven stitches. Baron never faltered. "Can you go on?" asked Franklin fearfully. "Sure," he replied, and forthwith dispatched the bull. But Clements felt that he had failed the spectators. "The people expected perfection," he says. "They have a full right to expect it, and I expect them to expect it, and I intend to give it. When I don't give it, I expect them to be disappointed...
