...crash site. In temperatures that rose to well over 100° F. in the heavy, stale air trapped among the hills, Alpha Company experienced its first violent contact with the enemy, suffering three dead and two wounded in a fierce firefight at the foot of a low hill called Nui Lon. The North Vietnamese left 20 bodies. There were more contacts during the next two days, then an evening barrage of 82-mm. fire, followed by a predawn fusillade of small-arm fire. After five days of fighting, Alpha Company's mud-caked survivors were exhausted, thirsty, hungry...
Guided by steady, low-keyed Manager Gil Hodges, the Mets' young prodigies are the happiest, hungriest, hustlingest team in baseball, and they seem to have acquired the emotional wherewithal to stand up 'under pressure'. They demonstrated that the last time they faced the Cubs, when they won four of six crucial games. In the opener of a three-game set at Shea Stadium, their home ballpark?the first crucial series ever to involve the Mets?Chicago's crack righthander, Ferguson Jenkins, entered the ninth inning with a 3-1 lead.

Those who expect the July low to stand as the bottom of the 1969 market predict that stock prices will move sideways for a long time until there are solid indications that inflation is being brought under control. Such prospects may be faintly reassuring to the average investor, but they do not promise much chance for speculators to recoup their mid-1969 losses quickly...
...year by year. The share of the savings dollar used to purchase life insurance has dwindled steadily from 51% in 1945 to less than 15% today. Conservative management and restrictive federal and state regulations have kept most of the insurers' $240 billion in assets tied up in longterm, low-return investments, such as top-quality mortgages and gilt-edge bonds...
