Dallas is bound for a championship, but not this year. When Jerry Rhome takes over at quarterback in a season or two, then the Cowboys will be ready to go higher than fourth. Washington has superb performers in Sonny Jurgensen, Bobby Mitchell, Charley Taylor, Paul Krause, and Sam Huff, but the supporting cast will weight them down to fifth...
According to California's respected The State Poll, Brown would take 40.2% of the votes cast in a Democratic primary today, compared with 25.4% for his biggest rival, Los Angeles Mayor Sam Yorty. A Republican primary would give Reagan 34.2% v. 20.6% for U.S. Senator Tom Kuchel, who took himself out of the race last week after months of indecision.

Apart from the half-dozen fixed sites clustered around Hanoi, the U.S. does not know how many SAM units there are in North Viet Nam, for as quickly as they fire, the mobile installations lumber off on their trucks and trailers to new locations...
Food and shelter, of course, are not enough. "Above all," says Colonel Sam Wilson, 41, the onetime Merrill's Marauders officer who is on loan from the Army to head the USOM refugee relief program, "the refugees must be kept busy." They elect their own councils to run the camps. Handicraft programs have begun in some places. If land is available, they are encouraged to plant short-term crops. The government is considering training some of them as social welfare workers. Some may end up as teachers to provide elementary education to other refugees' children...
