Cynics suggested that the Astros owed it all to the funhouse they call home. To be sure, Houston's two-year-old Astrodome is a chamber of horrors for rival ballplayers. Owner Roy Hofheinz's $31.6 million Xanadu has an outfield with the consistency of cobblestones; the infield is a bright green Chemstrand rug that ricochets grounders into the outfield like .30 cal. bullets...
...adventuresome but much-attacked Delta Ministry, the National Council of Churches' two-year-old experimental instrument of reconciliation between Mississippi's white and Negro people, got a pat on the back and a rap on the knuckles last week from its sponsor. Faced with growing criticism of the project, the council's general board strongly endorsed the Ministry's aims and plans but ordered a study on reorganizing it-in effect conceding that this venture in Christian activism had by no means achieved its goals...
When owners first nominated their horses for this week's 92nd running of the Kentucky Derby last winter, the handicappers all figured it for strictly a three-horse race: Buckpasser, 1965's champion two-year-old, Moccasin, 1965's champion two-year-old filly, and Graustark, the much-touted, undefeated wonder horse. But there is many a slip 'twixt the Cup and such lip. Two months ago, Buckpasser cracked his right front hoof and had to be scratched. As sometimes happens with fillies, Moccasin failed to improve; she will not run. That left all the roses...
...Political Assassination." C.C.A.P. Chairman Walter Reuther, whose United Auto Workers bankrolled the two-year-old organization with a $1,000,000 donation, set the critical tone at the outset by saying that the Great Society could not be built with "halfway, halfhearted" measures or by "making appropriations with an eyedropper"-though President Johnson is asking $1.75 billion in anti-poverty appropriations for the next fiscal year. The N.A.A.C.P.'s Roy Wilkins warned that the war in Viet Nam must not be al lowed to divert funds from the war on poverty...
There, Dr. D. Carleton Gajdusek and his colleagues made an extract of the brain material and injected it into the brains of monkeys and a two-year-old chimpanzee named Georgette. Nothing happened to the monkeys, and for 20 months Georgette kept on growing like a normal chimp. Then, last May, Georgette became apathetic and lethargic. Her lower lip drooped, and she shivered at the slightest chill. Soon, she was staggering and stumbling as she walked; if she reached for a banana, she missed it. When she could hardly move her limbs and screamed at the gentlest touch, the researchers...
