...doves came within one vote of victory; this year, the floor fight took just two hours and the vote, 64 to 21, was a resounding rebuff.* Administration spokesmen insisted that the ABM was an important "bargaining chip" in the Strategic Arms Limitation Talks currently under way, a viewpoint rejected by doves in 1970 but embraced by a large majority of Senators in 1971.

Epps further comments that DiCara has a real chance since Boston voters don't consider him a Harvard-type but more "one of them...short, stocky, hook-nosed, balding." Genuine Harvard people, we must assume from Epps' viewpoint, are all tall, thin, straight-nosed, and hairy.

He points out, for example, that while the per-club income from radio and TV revenue has multiplied by 13 times since 1956, "players' salaries have increased less than 3 times over." Even though Pete Rozelle virtuously forced Joe Namath to give up his Bachelors III nightclub because of alleged patronage by gamblers, Parrish charges the league's very roots were sunk from the start in the subsoil of big-time gambling. The late Tim Mara, longtime owner of the New York...
