...first glance, they seem an unlikely combination. Slim, suave, well-tailored Rowland Evans, 45, is the very model of a cosmopolitan correspondent. Swarthy, slangy, excitable Robert Novak, 35, often acts like a Chicago police reporter. Yet professionally, the two men complement each other perfectly; they have merged their talents in a joint political column, "Inside Report," that has a faster-growing readership than any of its competitors. Begun in 1963 with only 35 clients, "Inside Report" is now carried by 135 newspapers...
Second-string right inside Bill Schaefer lobbed a 30-yard pass over the Princeton fullbacks to the Crimson center forward. Goalie Rowland Halstead came charging out of the nets as Saltonstall flicked the ball inside the right post from 12 yards...
Columnists Rowland Evans and Robert Novak quote a White House aide as saying that "90% of what he does is right, and 90% of the way he does it is wrong." Johnson's pettiness and peevishness, his displays of deceit and conceit have been so frequently documented that what was once a nebulous attitude of indifference on the public's part has crystallized into active dislike...
Detour. At length, after scores of interviews with witnesses who claimed that they knew something, and with various officials who denied that they knew anything, Goerner fashioned his plot. When Earhart left Lae, he writes, she did not fly directly toward Rowland Island.

To make this detour possible without arousing suspicion-after all, the whole world knew the flyers' itinerary...
After sizing up Truk, Earhart headed for Rowland. Goerner guesses that she soon got hopelessly lost in a tropical storm and turned the Electra north and west, away from her destination. By calculating the Electra's speed and fuel consumption, Goerner figures that the plane must have crash-landed near the beach of Mili atoll in the southeastern Marshall Islands. It was from that place, he says, that Earhart cranked out SOS messages on the plane's emergency radio. This, Goerner believes, accounts for the fact that a number of radio operators reported picking up messages from...
