...Course. Both men, of course, protest that they are not candidates. Last week Rockefeller wrote to groups in New Hampshire and New York asking them to end their efforts to draft him lest they prove "divisive and destructive" to the party. "I just don't have the ambition or the need or inner drive-or whatever the word is- to get in again," he has said. But it was once said of Thomas E. Dewey that "the only cure for presidentitis is embalming fluid," and Rocky has been waging a noncampaign that will leave him in a strong position...
...Republican in much the same situation is Lindsay, also mentioned for both spots. Lindsay squelches such talk and categorically refuses to consider a national campaign -on anybody's ticket. That, after all, is only sensible. He has been mayor for less than 22 months, needs more time to prove his worth-and to win re-election in 1969-before he can raise his sights. In 1970, he could run for Senator or Governor, whichever post that Bobby Kennedy is not seeking. The two may well clash some day, and it would be foolish for either to risk a fatal...
...Lindsay can maintain the pace and record he has set so far in "un governable" Gotham, he may well prove a formidable opponent by 1972 or 1976 for Bobby or any other Democrat.

...previous starts. Every Redbird but Orlando Cepeda got on base. There was Shortstop Dal Maxvill, only .227 for the season, booming out a tremendous triple to start everything off in the third inning. And Castoff Yankee Roger Maris, driving in still another run, his seventh of the Series, to prove that he's the money player everybody said he wasn't. And Second Baseman Julian Javier, batting cleanup by default during Cepeda's slump and pounding out a three-run, sixth-inning homer. Then there was Lou Brock. In six games, he had collected ten hits, stolen...
...asked for an injunction against the ban in a federal District Court, but the court ruled that the Pentagon could distribute what "merchandise" it pleased. This month, however, a U.S. Court of Appeals reversed the lower court and ruled that the Weekly was entitled to a court trial to prove that the ban amounted to censorship. The Pentagon has 90 days in which it can appeal the decision to the U.S. Supreme Court, go to trial-or drop the matter and start distributing the Weekly in the Far East...
