...closer his shaves with North Vietnamese MIGs and flak, the longer grew Colonel Robin Olds's mustache -an exuberant pair of chestnut handlebars that sprouted ever more proudly through 152 missions and four confirmed Communist kills. Now Olds, 45, has been reassigned Stateside as commandant of cadets at the Air Force Academy, a bastion of U.S. military tradition that forbids "wives, horses or mustaches" to cadets. Olds sought a face-saving clemency from the Commander-in-Chief, appealing that general Air Force rules permit mustaches that are "closely and neatly trimmed." But L.B.J. refused to be drawn into...
...show. Boston's one real hit was a fluke homer by Pitcher Jose Santiago; only six other Red Sox batters even got to first, and in the strikeout column stood ten big Ks. With that kind of pitching, all it took to wrap up the game was a pair of runs, both of them supplied courtesy of Leftfielder Lou Brock, 28, the Cards' hardhitting (at .299) lead-off man and baseball's most artful burglar since Maury Wills decided to go straight.

...plenty to tell. The son of a Greek immigrant, he decided early to go for easy money rather than the legitimate proceeds of the small restaurant chain his father had built up from a pushcart.

When the police got him back, they kept...
What is Stanley's crime? Are Goldberg and McCann agents of a murder ring, symbols of organized society, or instruments of fate? What torture do the pair inflict on Stanley? Rarely has Pinter left more to the playgoer's imagination. The American cast keeps its English accents tidy but not its performances, and Director Alan Schneider lets the first act drowse. Basically, the play lacks the athletic snap and resonance of The Caretaker's dialogue and the musky animal magnetism of The Homecoming family. But whether or not he baffles playgoers, Harold Pinter exerts a modish appeal...
First marketed two months ago at $2.95 a pair (or in kits complete with yarn and patterns that cost from $18 to $50), "Jumbo Jets" are being sold in 25 department stores and 1,500 knit shops throughout the nation. Chicago's Marshall Field sold 3,000 pairs of them last month; Gimbel's Pittsburgh store sold 1,200 pairs in a single day. Says Helena Stockwell, owner of the Knit Shop in Highland Park, III.: "They've gotten us a lot of new customers, and old customers who haven't knitted for ages are taking...
