...ever again. In Philadelphia last August, pursuing a long drive, he crashed into the centerfield wall at full speed-smashing his left elbow and wrist. It took a 45-min. operation and five months in a cast to get his arm back into an approximation of its original shape. But now, says Wynn without the slightest taint of modesty, "I have all the tools to be a superstar." For starters, he has pledged to hit 30 homers, drive in 100 runs, and bat at least .300 this season. So far the only area in which Jim is falling short...
These changes are coming, but no one predicts confidently what--if any--the long range consequences for the City will be. In fact, no one is even sure of the precise shape the changes will take. The Inner Belt, for example, has been in discussion for nearly two decades. The relocation problem it will create is staggering; many think it is insoluble. Yet because it was politically dangerous to imply an acceptance that the high-way was coming, a start on relocation is only now being made...
...ruled unconstitutional the districts in many states and since the "compromise" bill would in most cases prevent the creation of new districts until after 1970, the only remaining possibility would be at large elections--something which any constituency-cartering representative would despite.

...puts its faith in its prolific test tube. Among other promising ventures, it has recently developed a cheap but strong plastic heat exchanger, a line of nylon shutters and plastic vanity tops, and a compound called Zeset that keeps wool sweaters shrinkproof and enables felt hats to retain their shape and stiffness. For the future, Du Pont researchers envision such wonders as ski jackets that grow thicker and warmer when the temperature drops, curtains that change color or covering power when the sun hits, a fiber product that will remove salt or waste from water. Of course, as Treasurer Evans...
...Marvin). His twelve "volunteers" are a random selection of criminals and psychopaths from the camp stockade including a Bible-quoting sex maniac (Telly Savalas), a Negro murderer (Jim Brown) and a small-time hood (John Cassavetes). Discipline to them is as foreign as freedom, and when Marvin tries to shape them up, they try to shake him down. In reply, he shovels on sarcasm and overtrains them until they drop with fatigue. When they refuse to shave with cold water, he takes away their razors and soap, an order which puts them in a bad odor and wins them...
