...Detroit tilt will be the next-to-last game of the season for the booters, and a lot should be on the line--a favored spot for the playoffs, Mike Flanigan's chances of edging New York Cosmo Giorgio Chinaglia for the league scoring crown, and lots of pride. But we suspect the Yankee-Red Sox clash on the tube might draw a bit more attention, even with all those commercials...
...Kremlin pride has apparently been hurt, moreover, by Carter's desire to give such problems as the Middle East and U.S. relations with the developing world as high or even higher priority than U.S.-Soviet ties. Under Kissinger, Moscow Indisputably held first place. To make matters worse, in Soviet eyes, the Administration has recently appeared to be courting Peking in order, as Brezhnev angrily put it, to "play the 'Chinese card' " against Moscow.

Until the United purchase of the 767, the U.S. had no viable competitor...
...Saratoga Springs, for if there is any respite from the demands of superstardom, it can be found in this quiet, informal arts center. The performing area is a pavilion that seats 5,100 (many more people can see the action from some distance on the lawn). Saratogans take pride in their July visitors. Ask any shopkeeper, and he will tell you that the dancers and their fans are nicer than the horse-racing crowd that overwhelms the town in August...
