...poll of the team and reported that 38 out of 40 loved Allen. Eight of them said that if he left, they would too. The team, said All-Pro Defensive Tackle Merlin Olsen, was not "the exclusive toy of a rich man." Danny was hurt, but lest the revolt further the movement for pro players to have more say in management, he tried to stand up to the big guys. He would not be pressured, he said, and if they did not like it, well, he would take his football team and go home...
Last week, as Senate Republicans chose a moderate new leader by electing Pennsylvania's Hugh Scott as minority whip, the young Turks of the Democratic Party joined in open revolt against their hierarchical chieftains. Rejecting the Eisenhower-Johnson concept of consensus, they demanded younger, more aggressive leadership and distinctively Democratic programs to revivify the party's claim to national leadership in the years to come.

...Odyssey, is a 20th century epic in which a contemporary Ulysses savors the world's sunny delights while heading inexorably for a polar night of the spirit. In the letters, however, Kazantzakis settles for a shrewder, certainly earthier judgment of himself. "I am not a Romantic in revolt," he wrote, "nor a mystic scorning life, nor an insolent belligerent against Substance. I do not feel possessed by any illusion. I enter into all traps-like some extremely elastic rat, which enters the trap, eats the mixture set to catch it, and then goes on to other traps, well aware...
