Defense Secretary Mc-Elroy, one of the fastest-starting figures to reach Washington in several years, has been campaigning at the White House for the release of more information not only about missiles but about the broader field of U.S. diplomatic-military efforts.

...onetime Yankee Billy Martin sounded off with his customary ballfield belligerence. "They say six clubs were after me," said Billy. "If I was key man of the swap, I want a piece of the profit."

It was indeed as forbidding a catch of fish as John McClellan's Senate labor rackets investigating committee has yet snared. One by one last week's school of hoods-including notorious Extortionist John (Johnny Dio) Dioguardi-appeared before the committee in the Senate caucus room and rasped out their Fifth Amendment pleas. But the evidence against them was there nonetheless. It added up to another chapter of the story of how mobsters took over segments...
