...fiercely anti-popular and anti-bureaucratic in its origins. Like the ministers who ruled post-Napoleonic Europe from the conference table at Vienna-and the Eastern Establishment figures who preceded him as policy-makers of a later age-Kissinger believes that legislative bodies, bureaucracies, and run-of-the-mill citizenries all lack the training and temperament that are needed in the diplomatic field. He is only slightly less moved by the academics who parade down to Washington to be with the great man and peddle their ideas. And when one sets aside popular opinion, Congress, the bureaucracy, and the academic...

So the residents of Baytown, Texas, were understandably aghast when U.S. Steel acquired 15,000 acres for a new plant right next to Cedar Bayou, a valued local fish and wildlife refuge.

Local businessmen sometimes feel that they are being overwhelmed by sheer force of numbers...
Died. Russ Hodges, 60, veteran baseball announcer; of a heart attack; in Mill Valley, Calif. Though he held a law degree, Hodges opted for a $25-a-week job broadcasting Cincinnati Red games in 1932. His enthusiastic delivery carried him to prosperity and New York, where he teamed with the Yankees' Mel Allen. In 1949 Hodges began his 22-year stint as "Voice of the Giants." His "Bye, Bye Baby" blessing for each Giant home run became his trademark and endured, as he did, when the Giants moved to San Francisco...
