...Race, Viet Nam, crime- all lend themselves to verbal overkill, not so much by candidates as by extremists: the John Birchers, the Rap Browns, the most ardent war critics, the Ku Kluxers. The evidence is everywhere. In Dallas, Assistant District Attorney William Alexander snarls on a TV show: "Earl Warren shouldn't be impeached-he should be hanged." Cries Rap Brown: "How many whites did you kill today?" Lyndon Johnson is routinely excoriated as a mass murderer. Robert Kennedy was branded by San Francisco hippies as a "fascist pig." Eventually verbal assassination becomes physical assassination...

Demonstrators defiantly sprawled over imposing marble statues, splashed in fountains, hauled down an American flag and smashed five windows at the side of the building, though leaders of the march absurdly blamed the press and "the CIA" for the breakage. Still another group of 500 demonstrators...
...reasoning behind the moves was something less than reassuring. In the National League, Milwaukee lost its bid for a franchise because, as League President Warren Giles explained, "it is only 90 miles away from two major-league clubs in Chicago." San Diego is located little farther from Los Angeles (the Dodgers) and Anaheim (the Angels), but it got a team - because Dodger Owner Walter O'Malley wanted to reward a friend: E. J.
