...physical analog to the wide franchises and slick operations of the new corporate baseball. This is a neighborhood park--no gargantuan concrete egg laid in the center of a vast parkingscape, slabs for seats, plastic astrograss, and conveniently adjacent to the suburban expressway. No, Fenway is rickety and ripe with a sad history--a lot of Red Sox clubs winning hearts and losing still; heros now dead or in the insurance business. Fenway is outmoded and wonderful, decaying like baseball itself is decaying: slowly shedding off its crowds, its glamour, and its primacy in American life...

Connally stands charged with accepting a $10,000 gratuity from Jacobsen as a payoff for influencing President Nixon to increase federal milk price supports...
EVEN IN WHAT they did report, American papers left their readers to guess at Key connections and supply crucial facts themselves. Montagnard involvement in the conquest of Ban Me Thuot received some play, but no one pointed out that the tribesmen--however ripe Time now considers them for Communist exploitation--generally fought in the past for France and the United States. Is the apparent Montagnard defection another sign of the end of Thieu, a portent of a new national Vietnamese unity that will embrace racial minorities or just a matter of different groups of tribesmen?
