Like the Nixon Administration overall, Laird marches under no grand ensign. After seven months, the White House still has no catch phrase to match New Frontier or Great Society. Laird's Pentagon has no strategy label comparable to "flexible response" in Robert McNamara's day or even the "bigger bang for a buck" of Charles E. Wilson's time. Like Nixon himself, Laird seems unencumbered by?some would say unequipped with?any particularly abiding philosophy. He is the only Secretary of Defense to come from Congress. Half his life ? he will be 47 next week ? was spent...
Greasy Kid Stuff. Drysdale's reputation was built on more than statistics. His penchant for throwing "dusters" prompted Atlanta Braves Slugger Hank Aaron to label him a "mean" pitcher, and San Francisco Manager Herman Franks hinted last year that Drysdale had more on the ball than honest sweat.

...uncompromising feminist, the world's most fearless woman novelist? Yes, if you listen carefully. "In time, many people who are now called schizophrenics won't be called ill at all," she continues. "Like Lynda, they are depressed, with good reason to be. All this categorization! Putting a label on something is a way of stopping thinking about it. We should ask psychiatrists many more questions...
...effort by the Harvard Dramatic Club Summer Players, a group which has been forming elegantly, there four summers now, in the center ring of our sweaty free-form carnival. That qualification, then: Use anything--from a Times Square News Flasher heralding the scenes to a case of Carling Black Label in the New Tankard Cans at the Last Supper--but use it only with the tact of art, the high decorum which subsists in the meetness of technique and purpose...
