John A. Volpe sticks out like a sore thumb even in a group as mediocre as Richard Nixon's cabinet. Secretary of Transportation Volpe will, no doubt, build roads, but this nation--particularly its cities--needs more than another maze of express-ways to solve its transportation problems...
...issue's visual problems are much easier to pinpoint than the literary ones. The drawings of David McClelland and James Rivaldo are gone, and they are a sore loss. Sam Vandam's caricature of Mayor Daley is properly Sorel-like, and his cartoons pop up throughout the issue, but it will be a while before he can match the bizarre beasties that crawled over McClelland's pages...

Toomey had a pulled hip muscle for which he was being treated with cortisone. Even so, in the first test, the 100-meter dash, Toomey hit the tape in 10.4 sec., best time of the day and good enough for 959 points under the complicated decathlon scoring...
