Though Sihanouk has made no move to leave Peking and set up a rival government in Cambodia's jungles, no fewer than ten Communist documents captured in recent days speak of plans for a pro-Sihanouk "war of liberation" in the northeast. French plantation managers report that Communists are recruiting some plantation workers and arming civilians. Still, allied units have yet to encounter any "guerrillas" in Cambodia. As Sirik Matak told TIME'S Kraar: "There are no signs of a civil war in Cambodia, no signs at all." There is some question, besides, about the genuine enthusiasm...
...When they drop the puck to start the game," says one rival manager, "the Bruins think it is a piece of raw meat." Known to their foes as "the Animals," the Boston Bruins have long been the toughest, roughest, meanest, most penalized team in the National Hockey League. Unfortunately, they usually won more fights than games; in the past eleven seasons, the Bruins failed to make the Stanley Cup play-offs eight times, and their last cup victory was in 1941. "Some people say they've been rebuilding since then," says Scotty Bowman, coach of the St. Louis Blues...
Whatever happens, I.O.S. will be in for a managerial housecleaning. As Cornfeld put it last week: "A hell of a lot more people will go." It would be dangerous, however, if many salesmen defected on their own. European financial pages are carrying ads placed by rival funds trying to lure I.O.S. salesmen -and their clients. The 14,000-man sales force-I.O.S.'s principal asset-has dwindled by several thousand. Unless it can be kept together, there will not be much left of the company to salvage...
During his lifetime, United Auto Workers President Walter P. Reuther was regarded by many businessmen and rival union leaders as a dangerously disruptive force. Yet since his death two weeks ago in the fiery crash of a small chartered jet in Michigan, it has become increasingly clear that he was one of the healers that U.S. society sorely needs right now. Of all prominent labor leaders, he maintained the closest ties to the poor, the black and the young -those frustrated groups whose sense of alienation is fed by the suspicion that U.S. institutions, including big unions, care little...
These days no one laughs at the Cincinnati Reds' Johnny Lee Bench, not even when he says he is going to be baseball's first $100,000-a-year catcher. Instead, rival managers laud him shamelessly. Chicago's Leo Durocher: "Bench is the greatest catcher since Gabby Hartnett." Montreal's Gene Mauch: "If I had my pick of any player in the league, Bench would be my first choice." Los Angeles' Walter Alston: "He'll be the All-Star catcher for the next ten years." Just 22, Johnny Lee does not take the high...
