...level, there are now nine black Representatives and one black Senator; ten years ago, there were only four in the House and none in the Senate. On the policymaking levels of the Executive Branch, blacks now have little influence. Although Lyndon Johnson appointed the first black Cabinet member (Robert Weaver), Nixon has an all-white Cabinet. Nixon has James Farmer as an Assistant Secretary of HEW, but Johnson had more blacks in lower-level positions, topped by Carl Rowan as director of U.S.I.A...

In the final game the Oriole pitcher and first baseman conspired to commit two errors on a single play (shades of Marvelous!) to permit the last, poetic Met run to score. The Oriole manager, a stocky fellow named Weaver, even began to look and act like a funny old fellow named Casey Stengel, who used to run the Mets. During the fourth game, in a transport of fury, Weaver was banished from the field. But nothing could hide the awful fact that the Oriole power had failed. Their heralded hitters...
