Some observers pick Connecticut as the team to beat. The Huskies have two good pitchers, Ed Baird and Bill Hogerty, and some solid hitting, including George Greer, who was mentioned on several All-America teams last year...
...again place enough members in the National Assembly to form a working majority. If the present Assembly were dissolved at any time soon, the feeling at the moment among most French politicians is that the so-called combined left?Communists plus Mitterrand's assortment of Socialists-would command a solid majority in which the Communist ratio would be higher than it is now. At present, it is 73 Reds v. 121 Socialists. As a result, Communist leverage in a regime of the left would be considerable. In the event of popular-front government, Mitterrand looms as the most likely candidate...
...Hamilton Banker Sir Henry Tucker, the United Bermudians won on the strength of their solid, four-year record for expanding the island's tourism and prosperity and lowering its color bars-both socially and politically (TIME, May 10).

Maryland's Governor Spiro Agnew, until two months ago one of Rocky's most effusive rooters, made it clear that Nelson no longer commanded his loyalty...
Overweight and festooned with stale situations and weary wisecracks, Yours, Mine and Ours relies for its levity on two unassailable assets: Fonda and Ball. At 62, Fonda can still leave a line wry and dry. At 56, Ball commands a solid slapstick style that none of her younger rivals can match. Her squint-eyed search for a false eyelash that has managed to wander to her forehead, for example, is converted into the kind of classic comedy chase that has been absent from films for too long. And they are ably backed by a surprisingly supple comedian named Van Johnson...
