...Dodgers' physician, "but it has responded to medication." The main medicament has been cortisone. As part of his therapy, Koufax regularly packs his elbow in ice for one hour following every game, throws only lightly on his days off, and refrains from tossing sidearm pitches, which put extra strain on the elbow...
...characters whose real-life models are familiar -the rabble-rousing, white-hating black fanatic named the Prophet, the Italian rackets czar named Vito, the acquisitive, balance-sheet-conscious newspaper owner. Horan is best at sketching in the details of corruption. It is a picture so shocking that it would strain credulity-were it not for the fact that most of the scandals he telescopes into a brief winter in the mid-1960s happened, over a longer period, in New York City.

A Gallup poll reported recently that 73% of the population (v. 44% in 1958) would approve at least a small annual quota of skilled Asians. Apart from the economic strain, the government is all too aware of the strategic perils of underpopulation. With 3,000 fighting men in Malaysia (see story above) and a battalion in Viet Nam, half of Australia's combat-ready forces are already tied down in the widening struggle for Southeast Asia...
