...crime. Just when emergency strikes, the "fantastic feathered fighter" finds that his chicken suit has been lost by the cleaners or the zipper is stuck. During one flap, he accidentally glided through a closed window. "How do you do?" was his greeting. "I'm the wonderful white-winged warrior, and I think I'm bleeding to death." Of course, the police commissioner shrugs away the fact that since the coming of Chickenman, the "level of sin, debauchery and gambling" has increased. Good, he says, "we'll have tourists coming out of our ears...
...there, in the sixth game, it ended. The Wilt Chamberlain of the 1966-67 season is a complete ballplayer-no longer concentrating on scores for the record book, instead setting up plays for teammates, scrambling downcourt to fight for rebounds and break up Warrior attack patterns. In the first five games, Wilt had scored only 82 points, but he had contributed 37 assists and picked off 148 rebounds. In the final game, he scored 24, with four assists and 23 rebounds.

An estimated 1,000 Viet Cong became Hoi Chanh (returnees) during the week after the holiday began, a record for any week in the war. "More importantly," says U.S. Psy-Warrior M. L. Osborne, "we're finally getting a few oldtimers-men in their 30s and 40s who were with the Viet Minh." In short, even Ho's hardened veterans are getting weary...
Donald Sr. may have been disappointed, but the old warrior gave no sign of it at the meeting, in which he said he was "gratified" by the deal. What may have helped was a check for $69 million that McDonnell brought with him to pay for 1,500,000 shares of Douglas stock. That was the main reason the Douglases had finally come to terms: McDonnell was the only suitable merger prospect that could supply cold cash immediately. Even before the stock-swap merger, which still needs shareholder approval, is completed, the prospect of the deal may defrost lenders...
