...team was not immediately renamed, but the Indianapolis Colts sounds as hollow and sad as the city of Baltimore must feel. Johnny Unitas. Gino Marchetti. Lenny Moore. Jim Parker. Raymond Berry. Art Donovan. Alan Ameche. Bill Pellington. Jim Mutscheller. "Big Daddy" Lipscomb. Bert Rechichar. Buddy Young. The "sudden death" game of 1958. "Let's go, you Baltimore Colts . . ." No room for all of that in a moving...
Even if the coach was the one rejected, the city of Baltimore could not help feeling slurred. That Baltimore now constitutes the N.F.L.'s Black Hole of Calcutta seems rather sad if you know the charms of gritty cities and remember Lenny Moore, Raymond Berry, Jim Parker, Gino Marchetti, Alan Ameche, L.G. ("Long Gone") Dupre, "Big Daddy" Lipscomb and other remarkable players on exceptional Colts teams. "It is nothing but money, greed and selfishness any more," laments former Baltimore Quarterback Johnny Unitas, who never turned down any money but whose first salary in the N.F.L...

The things a CIA operative in a foreign country worries most about, Stockwell says, in order of importance, are the local U.S. ambassador and staff interfering, restrictive cables from CIA headquarters, local gossips in the neighborhood, the local police and the press. Last of all is the KGB, the Russian intelligence agency...
...their assertions scrupulously, displaying a total command of both the voluminous Warren Commission papers and the assassination literature. Their theory explains the assassination coherently and fits all the known facts better than any other. The portrait of the CIA that emerges from this book, coupled with the revelations of Marchetti, Agee, and company, presents the agency as an invisible government, acting independently at home and abroad, affiliated with factions of American capitalism but controlled by none...
