...Syndicate," a closely knit group of conservative big-city bosses. The issue is the political direction of the party. Ever since she took over three years ago, Indira has attempted to push Congress toward the socialist goals ordained by earlier leaders, including her father Jawaharlal Nehru. But she has run into opposition from disapproving party right-wingers, led by Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Morarji Desai, her sole rival in the 1966 and 1967 party elections for the premiership. The right-wingers feel that Indira's all-out socialist policies will severely damage private industry and hurt...
Breezing into Washington to visit her sister, Luci Johnson Nugent told reporters that she is now a budding author. She is working on an article about her father and Yuki, the white mongrel who had the run of the White House while L.B.J. was President. "It's just a story about a man and his dog," said Luci, and then she dropped another bit of news: she and Pat are expecting their second child in late December...
Someone once asked Babe Ruth how he came to hit so many home runs. The Babe grinned and replied, "Because I don't like to run out singles." This season, two other sluggers who hate singles are swinging for the fences: Oakland's Reggie Jackson and Washington's Frank Howard.

...Mark is swimming with more confidence than ever before," says former Olympic Champion Murray Rose. "In the long run, I think those setbacks at Mexico City were good for him." Maturity may well be the answer to Spitz's comeback. By the time he was 18, he had won 26 national and international titles, broken ten world and 28 U.S. records. Everyone expected him to replace Schollander, who won four gold medals in 1964, as the U.S. team's one-man gang in Mexico City.
