...muscleman, Banks derives his deceptive power from a pair of outsize hands and wrists that allow him to whip the bat around at the last possible instant. Last season, while aging superstars like Mickey Mantle were going into slow fadeouts, Ernie knocked in 83 runs and belted 32 home runs, the most he had hit in six years. Says Durocher: "I wish I knew what kind of pills he takes. I'd like to feed them to some of my other players...
...Congress and among the responsible antiwar groups is wearing poster-thin. During the past two weeks, delegations of students, mothers and business executives have renewed their complaints about the war in Washington. Last week, 1,300 Quakers picketed the White House. Two ranking Senate Republicans, Chief Whip Hugh Scott and George Aiken, the party's senior Foreign Relations Committee member, have declared themselves in favor of an immediate pull-out of U.S. forces.

Even the Ford Fairlane, usually a sedate family car, becomes feverish when equipped with a new option: a 335-h.p. engine...
...BEYOND THE MOON. In 1971, NASA plans to place two spacecraft in orbit around Mars. In 1973, two "Viking" missions are scheduled to make soft landings on the planet's surface. Also proposed is a Venus-Mercury "minitour" using the Venusian gravitational force to whip a satellite on toward Mercury. Perhaps most visionary of all is NASA's dream of "Grand Tour" flights to the "outer" planets-Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. The four outer planets will be aligned in such a way that a single craft launched between 1976 and 1978 could fly by all of them...
