...Kennedy's black 1967 Oldsmobile, go down the dirt road toward the bridge at 12:40 a.m. At that hour, Look was returning home from his weekend job as guard at the Edgartown Yacht Club. He insisted that the car, which, like Kennedy's, had a license plate beginning with the letter L, came out of School Road, which leads to the cottage where Kennedy's party had taken place. The car then crossed the intersection, drove onto a farmer's dirt lane on the other side, and hesitated for a minute. Thinking the driver might...
...homer off the New York Yankees' Mel Stottlemyre, who was ultimately tagged with the loss. Washington's Frank Howard sent a towering drive over the centerfield fence in the American League's half of the inning. Then the Nationals sent nine men to the plate and scored five runs as San Francisco's Willie McCovey belted the first of two home runs. Even St. Louis Pitcher Steve Carlton, the game's eventual winner, lashed a run-producing double. Detroit's Bill Freehan came back with a homer, but that still left the Americans...

After he cracked two home runs in a single game in Washington, Jackson received...
Nixon's home team also boasts a man whose performance has been worthy of the highest admiration-bespectacled Frank Howard. While Jackson is relatively unprepossessing in appearance, Howard at 33 is absolutely forbidding. One of his home runs once splintered a bleacher seat 530 ft. from the plate. A veteran of seven years with the Los Angeles Dodgers, the 6-ft. 7-in., 260-lb. first baseman was always a prodigious but sporadic long-ball hitter. Only after he was traded to the Senators in 1964 did he begin living up to his potential. In 1968 Howard led both...
...twelve years of his live shot to hell. That's why Jack Lemmon is able to make Brubaker so much worthier an object of sympathy (or empathy, depending on your age group) than Benjamin. Braddock stumbles through situations picking up the emotional cost with a sort or moral charge plate...
