...hearing, Justice Potter Stewart noted that the Court had ordered the release of records only when the eavesdropping violated the Fourth Amendment-and that it had not ruled on the legality of bugging for national-security reasons. To the Justice Department, at least, Stewart's statement seemed to mean a green light for any national-security tapping that it felt necessary...
...international titles, broken ten world and 28 U.S. records. Everyone expected him to replace Schollander, who won four gold medals in 1964, as the U.S. team's one-man gang in Mexico City. After his disappointing Olympic performance, he underwent some agonizing reappraisals. "I realized that losing can mean something to you," he reflects.

...football, spelled out plainly in Rule 3 of every player's contract, states that a player "must not associate with gamblers or other notorious characters." And because of his questionable associations, Namath was clearly guilty of breaking the rule. Rozelle understood only too well what such transgressions can mean to the name of the game.

Instead, the festivals seem to have become an experience akin to the spring vacation at Fort Lauderdale, where swarms...

A compatriot of James Dean, Director Dennis Hopper has become the caricature of the surly, inarticulate "man, like I mean" Method actor. He had once announced to Fonda that "the first movie I make will have to win at Cannes." But his appearances in films belied the boast. The mad stare, the simian stance could have been reproduced, everyone thought, by a dozen actors. Everyone but Peter Fonda. He persuaded Terry Southern (Dr. Strangelove) to collaborate on the Easy Rider script, and talked American International...
