...point, the debate had been for the most part one between the two old adversaries. But now, meticulous, bespectacled Koto Matsudaira of Japan spoke up for the first time to express his government's "misgivings" over the U.S. intervention, and said that he would try to seek some sort of compromise. To add to the U.S.'s discomfiture, bald Omar Loutfi of the United Arab Republic produced a letter from the president of the Lebanese Parliament denouncing U.S. intervention as an infringement of Lebanese sovereignty.

While the turnstiles of mammoth Memorial Coliseum click toward a smashing major-league attendance record, his Dodgers languish at the bottom of the league and his plans for a new baseball home in Chavez Ravine run into snags from all quarters. The voters last month approved the city's plan to make over to the Dodgers 169 acres of city-owned land in the Ravine so the Dodgers could build a stadium and parking lot there. But last...
