...back, again played by Eastwood, but this time he comes equipped with a better plot, some real outdoor landscape, and a cast that looks even meaner than he does. As before, acting is forbidden; histrionics are kept to a contest of who can give his lip the tightest curl and who can give his eyes the narrowest squint. The competition results in a slit decision between Eastwood and Lee Van Cleef, another Hollywood-to-Italy refugee cast as a rival bounty hunter...
Effects of the Pill. In greatest demand are women office workers. For the first time, women have been hired as clerks on the floor of the American Stock Exchange. John Fanning of Manhattan's Fanning Personnel Agency says that the shortage of secretaries "is the tightest we've ever seen"; a competent young secretary in New York can get $110 a week.

Dodger Catcher Johnny Roseboro was deeply concerned about race riots in the Watts section of Los Angeles near his home. Giants Pitcher Marichal had been brooding over the bloody civil war in the Dominican Republic. For tinder, there was the tension of the tightest National League race in history; for fire, a provocative trading of beanballs, curses and threats. In the third inning, with the Dodgers leading 2-1, Marichal came to bat. The second pitch was low inside; Roseboro dropped the ball, then picked it up and deliberately fired it as hard as he could back to the mound...
