Though he turned 60 last week, Nelson Rockefeller showed all the ebullience of a conventioneering Jaycee as he bounced from coast to coast in a spurt of razzle-dazzle campaigning. He rode a motorized ricksha and a cable car in San Francisco, a trolley in St. Louis, a stern-wheeler on the Ohio near Louisville, and a pea-green convertible in Wall Street. He still was not riding any bandwagon, but in Miami, at least, he got a surprise present: an endorsement from Florida Governor Claude Kirk-the first Southern Governor to support him to date. Then, Pennsylvania...
...then a deputy chief. "Using accepted practice on the second day, we isolated the area, reasoning that the rioters would riot themselves out and go home. So what happened? Other riots broke out in other areas." In the end, the insurrection encompassed a region roughly the size of San Francisco. There was little liaison with other agencies, particularly the National Guard, and commanders often could not communicate with patrol cars because their radios operated on different frequencies...

That may be police brutality...

Pattison in stead saw "the biggest bore of my life": a game in which both teams, between them, collected only eight hits and struck out 20 times. The only score came in the first inning, when San Francisco's Willie Mays singled, went to second on a muffed pick-off attempt, to third on a wild pitch, and home on a double play. That unearned run gave the National League the game and Mays the Most Valuable Player award...
...hitters' have been horrific. It was only seven years ago that Warren Spahn topped all National League hurlers with an earned-run average of 3.01; this year there are 69 pitchers with lower ERAs than that. Three pitchers-Detroit's Denny McLain (record: 17-2), San Francisco's Juan Marichal (15-4) and Cleveland's Luis Tiant (14-5)-all have a shot at winning 30 games, a feat last accomplished by Dizzy Dean in 1934. Tiant, the All-Star game loser, has an incredible ERA of 1.24; the All-Star winner, Los Angeles...
