...Sale. By itself, the Sun-Bulletin's defection was hardly enough to rattle the Republican high command. But it showed the way the early campaign breezes were blowing through the press and gave an early sign of things to come. Even before the G.O.P. Convention in July, the sturdily Republican Wisconsin State Journal in Madison, which in more than 100 years has never supported a Democrat for President, announced that it "could not and would not" support Goldwater. In Vermont, the jointly owned Barre-Montpelier Times-Argus and the Rutland Herald declared last week for Johnson, despite an unblemished...

So is the team, which at sale time was bumping along 31 games behind and in third place, their worst position in mid-August since 1960. Moreover, the Yanks have always been crowd pleasers because of their legendary heroes. But Mickey Mantle is now 32; he aches in every muscle, and after him, who? Finally, there...
...Then come the claimants -for example, the builder. If he runs into "latent defects," such as hidden springs, the builder is entitled to charge more than the contract calls for.
