There seemed slight likelihood of a smash political success. The speech was scheduled for Monday, a stay-at-home night most everywhere. The scene was to be Dodger Stadium (more popularly known as Chavez Ravine) - yet every properly baseball-batty Angeleno should have been glued to a television set watching the opening game of the showdown series between the Dodgers and the Cardinals in St. Louis. Thus, organizers of the Barry Goldwater rally had been having Technicolor night mares of rows of pink, aqua and maize stadium seats - all empty...
Success has not spoiled James Fahey. Though his gob's-eye view of battle, Pacific War Diary 1942-45 (TIME, Aug. 16) is a smash critical hit, Amateur Author Fahey, 45, is happy in his $93.20-a-week job as a Waltham, Mass., garbage man. "I won't quit my sanitation job until I have been named Garbage Man of the Year," he said lightly in an interview, for there had never been such a title. But at the magazine of the trade, the Refuse Removal Journal, the remark brought action: Fahey was duly informed that the magazine...

...months. Losing at Wimbledon, Margaret says, was "the biggest disappointment of my life. I let a lot of people down." She made up for that defeat by besting Billie Jean in straight sets in this year's Wimbledon final, running out the last game in typical slash-and-smash Smith fashion: two booming sideline forehands, a perfectly placed passing shot in the corner, and a lunging, lashing volley that kicked up a puff of chalk as it kissed the base line and bounded out of reach...
...Strings was a smash hit on Broadway (it closed only last Saturday), where it won the Antoinette Perry award for best musical of the year. Still, the Boston production is far superior to the New York one, thanks mostly to the new lead players. The male lead switched from Richard Kiley to Howard Keel, seasoned star of Oklahoma and Carousel, and the female lead, played by Diahann Carroll in the New York version, went to the equally beautiful but more bouyant Barbara McNair...
