...Crimson maintained a narrow advantage through the third quarter until Williams drove in for a two-pointer that made the score 44 to 40. In the process he bowled over Kaminsky and fouled out of the game. Then came the deluge...
Without a map and pointer, President Johnson had to resort to statistics to illustrate just what an ornery place the world was. In no fewer than "eight different situations," he told a White House press conference, the U.S. had "demonstrated anew" its determination to keep the peace. Lyndon's aides had a few more figures to prove the point. Since Nov. 22, the President has held 175 separate meetings on foreign affairs, and has discussed national security 30 times with Defense Secretary McNamara, 51 times with Secretary of State Rusk, 31 times with the Central Intelligence Agency...

With nearly 750 professional field trials in the U.S. each year, many a breeder grows wealthy...

You get some of them to work by coaxing and some by whipping, but whichever way, when you're finished, the dog has to want to work for you." The process takes anywhere from three months (for ordinary hunting) to ten (for field trials), and costs the owner upwards of $50 a month. It can also be a mighty rough business...
