...city's present plan to buy Yankee Stadium and renovate it for $24 million, in order to keep at least the Yankees in town. Lindsay also said that he would seek another National Football League franchise to cohabit with the Yankees, but the odds on that seemed slim. For one thing, unanimous approval of all N.F.L. teams is required to shift one franchise into the home territory of another, and both the Giants and Jets would surely veto any such effort. Though the Giants have a lease to play in Yankee Stadium through 1974, some city officials favored canceling...
...Their slim draft of about a dozen pages, a so-called "umbrella agreement," will probably be worked over for months before the Big Four Foreign Ministers finally sign a Berlin Protocol. The ambassadors will meet once again early this week. Then, barring a last-minute hitch, they will dispatch the draft document to their governments for approval. Once that is secured, officials of the two Germanys and the two Berlins must hammer out the final details concerning access to the city and travel between West Berlin and East Berlin and between West Berlin and East Germany. The whole fragile structure...
...green posters urging the world to SAVE THE U.N., BLOCK THE COMMUNISTS' ENTRY appeared on downtown walls.

With reason, the Nationalists are increasingly fretful about diplomatic isolation, and they are no longer summarily breaking relations with governments that recognize Peking...

We see him first as a slim, fey, slightly bland youth of 18, living a sheltered life surrounded by tutors and priests. He progresses through the series like a prefab castle, adding pounds and psychological dimensions as if they were rooms. By the final segment, the slender, shy youth has become a man swathed in fat, so overbearing and overburdened that he can barely rise from his chair-much less to his earlier level of greatness. Michell won England...
...debate produced such a strange alignment of forces that the outcome was never certain. The House approved the loan guarantee by a slim 192-189. In the Senate, Texas Republican John Tower, leader of the pro-Lockheed forces, could make no accurate nose count as his col- leagues prepared to vote this week-before beginning a one-month holiday. If the loan guarantee is not approved, Lockheed warned, the firm will run out of cash before Congress returns...
