...passer and its Player of the Year. Lamonica can throw the ball even farther than Green Bay's Starr, but against the Packers' superb secondary, he probably will settle for short "swings," "look-ins" and "square-outs" to Fullback Dixon, Flanker Pete Biletnikoff and Tight End Billy Cannon, a converted halfback who is a threat to go all the way any time...
...some fearsome pass rushers of their own, notably Tackle Tom Keating, a 247-pounder who runs 40 yds. in 5.3 sec. in his football gear. Therein lies a certain danger. Confident of this rush, Oakland's cocky cornerbacks have developed the habit of playing opposing pass receivers extremely tight to cut off the short pass, assuming that there won't be a long one.

...evening included a static sports roundup (a ten-minute speech by an athletic functionary, scenes of a factory woman doing calisthenics), a performance of Chekhov's Platonov's Loves, Thirty Minutes with the Hungarian Railway Philharmonic, and a half-hour newscast, with headlines read by a tight-lipped blonde.

Apparently one of his key objectives was simply to ease tensions. "We were able perhaps to convey expression of opinion which helped understanding a little," he says cautiously. Since there were a whole series of more formal mediation efforts in the works, Curle hesitates to claim credit for any specified accords. He feels, though, that...
...group quietly won control of the party's executive council, and began joining the opposition in criticizing Frei. When Frei asked the party for a routine analysis of its future course, Chonchol prepared a 57,000-word report that read almost like the Communist Manifesto. It recommended tight government control of economic and industrial activities, nationalization of all banks, insurance companies, electric power corporations, and communications companies as well as a far-reaching agrarian reform law that would do away with all large landowners. Embarrassed by the report, Frei tried to shrug it off casually as a meaningless "scrap...
