In seven months in the White House they have put on at least 25 major wingdings, including eight state dinners-each with a minimum of preening, a maximum of fun and easy conviviality.

Twelve Phillies struck out, and the only one who reached base at all was Richie Allen, who walked in the fourth inning, was thrown out trying to steal second. With the Dodgers leading 3-0 and two out in the bottom of the ninth, Sandy faced Phillies Shortstop Bobby Wine. The first pitch was a ball, and Wine fouled the second off the leg of Plate...
