Died. Marshal Rodion Yakovlevich Malinovsky, 68, the Soviet Union's Minister of Defense since 1957; of cancer; in Moscow. Short, grizzled, gruff, Malinovsky looked like the original Russian bear-and played the part to perfection. As a heavy-fisted soldier, he took part in the World War II defense of Stalingrad, commanded the advance through Rumania and Hungary to Vienna, and finally Russia's "one-week war" against Japan. As a Communist, he was the perfect, unquestioning Party member, who survived all purges, obediently reined in the army when Khrushchev opted for fewer guns and more butter, then...

Lew Alcindor pouring in 20 points and picking off 14 rebounds, the heavily favored Bruins closed out their season with a perfect 30-0 record. In New York's National Invitation Tournament, the other big post-season playoff, Southern Illinois made it a clean sweep for favorites by beating Marquette in the finals...
Cities and their suburbs are both ideals and horrors at the same time. ideals and overcrowding threaten, but somehow the city manages to retain its image as the potentially perfect environment. Suburbs, constantly under attack as unfit for family life, are still sought by most home-buyers as the best place to live. And amid public and private disillusionment, the redevelopers in the city and the developers in the suburbs consume land at the rate of a million acres...
