...Thomas Dodd of Connecticut usually votes with liberals on domestic issues, and was part of the solid New England support John Kennedy built up in 1960. However, Dodd felt he owed Long total loyalty. Long was the only Senator who championed him in 1967 against charges of misusing campaign funds and was one of only five to vote against his censure; Kennedy cast one of the 92 damning votes...
...bought nine audio oscillators to help create the sound effect for Fantasia. With Hewlett as the original engineering brains and Packard as a fiercely dynamic manager, the company has become the world's largest maker of electronic measuring devices. In the postwar era of computers, television and solid-state circuitry, its sales have grown to $269 million annually.

A solid, consistent performer, he is big enough to fight it out with a tight end, quick enough to stop an off-tackle play. Wehrli will probably be cast as a free safety because of his knack for homing in on the ball. "He's a tough kid," says one scout. "Maybe too tough. I've seen him knock himself cuckoo on tackles." The nation's top punt returner, with...
