...labor bill might trim Hoffa's power, especially if the Senate adopts the House bill's restrictions on blackmail picketing and secondary boycotts-longtime Teamster weapons. But with his lawyers already at work looking for loopholes, Hoffa is going to make every effort to go on behaving like Hoffa. Last week he finished buying control of the Miami National Bank so that he can use the bank to get around labor-bill controls on what he does with Teamster welfare-fund money. He plans to channel welfare-fund millions into Miami National and then distribute the money...
...settle the matter mano a mano (hand to hand), Dominguin returned to the ring after three years of retirement to put his younger rival in his place. A longstanding and well pressagented public "feud" seemed to make the men enemies, although they are actually brothers-in-law and close personal friends.

Officials insist that the boron cutback itself does not mean a cutback in the B70 bomber program, but only an alteration in the bomber to make it wholly conventionally fueled, and that the cutback has no relation to the F-108, which was programed to use conventional fuels all along. But many aircraft men feel that both programs, which barely got into the Administration's budget request last year, can hardly avoid cutbacks in the cost...
Porgy and Bess. Sam Goldwyn's $7,000,000 attempt to make a cinematic success of the Gershwin folk opera, with Pearl Bailey and Sammy Davis Jr. doing their best to relieve the stereophonic monotony...
