LOOK UP AND LIVE (CBS, 10:30-11 a.m.). "We Will Speak, Who Will Answer?" The people of Portland, Ore., speak and answer in this second part of a series that studies the ways in which eight different cities are handling race relations, housing and other problems through community action...
...warheads for missiles. In recent years, Moscow has tripled its long-range missile force, is now very close to parity with the 1,710-missile U.S. arsenal; American multiple-warhead missiles would again put parity well beyond their immediate reach, and undoubtedly prompt them to embark on a new race to catch up. Finally, a disarmament-minded faction within the Kremlin, led by Kosygin and other economic planners, is believed to have won out for the moment over the generals and the "metal eaters" by arguing that the arms race could lead not only to further economic strain but even...
...times, the American League leader a full 45. And that's how it looks again this year. In one of the dullest seasons in years-with the result that attendance is down 5% from 1967 -neither league can lay claim to anything remotely resembling a pennant race. In the National League last week, the St. Louis Cardinals were coasting along with a steady 61-game lead; in the American, the Detroit Tigers were an even brighter prospect with an eight-game bulge...
...youngest of three racing brothers (a fourth drives a bus), Dancer spotted Nevele Pride as a yearling on a Pennsylvania farm in 1966 and purchased the colt for $20,000. Last year the trotter won a record $222,923 and turned in the fastest mile clocking (1 min. 58 2/5 sec.) ever achieved by a juvenile. Dancer is carefully pointing toward the Hambletonian, the U.S.'s most prestigious trotting race, on Aug. 25; hence he has raced the horse only lightly. Even at that, the colt won all four of his starts and $106,886-$83,373 at Roosevelt...
...Dexter Cup, Nevele Pride had to overcome a bad post position-No. 7 in the field of eleven-that forced Dancer to "take the overland route" and drive three-wide for the first half of the mile race. Though Dancer eased him up at the end, Nevele Pride won in a waltz. His victory margin was four lengths, and his time-2 min. 22/5 sec. -clipped a full second off the old stakes record. "Before he is through," predicts Driver Dancer, "this horse could rewrite the record book." The erasers are already busy...
