Melfa promptly plunked At Lemerande with a pitch, loading the bases. He walked John Naye on a 2-2 count, forcing in the first run, and then compounded the misfortune by walking Warren Spaeth to drive in another. Navy had their two runs -- on four bases on balls, a wild pitch, and 'a batsman...
...Johnson Administration is clearly losing its campaign against documentary inflation. Despite the President's orders to curb what he calls "paperwork run wild," the new agencies, new projects and new functions of the Great Society are piling up Himalayas of foolscap. The House Subcommittee on Census and Statistics, which last week ended a round of hearings on the subject (also voluminous), showed that the Government now prints twelve different forms each year for every American, circulates more than a billion all told, many for eventual return and storage. Washington spends $7 billion annually to make, process and store this...
Stranger yet to Palomares fishermen were the Jules Verne trawling capsules imported by the Navy's 18-ship, 2,200-man recovery task force under "Wild Bill" Guest, 52. Among the most sophisticated hardware in his far-out fleet were the civilian-manned, deep-diving research subs Aluminaut and Alvin. It was Alvin's two crewmen who first found the wayward nuke last month, wrapped in its grey parachute 2,500 ft. down on a 70° slope. But Alvin proved a ham-handed retriever. On its first try at getting a line around the bomb...
Initially, the Buddhist-inspired demonstrations in the I Corps area and Saigon were mild and orderly. But the unrest spread steadily, drawing up the civil servants, the military, laborers-all disaffected by South Viet Nam's galloping inflation and wartime insecurity, by wild rumors and even by the growing American presence in Viet Nam. At first Ky kept hands off so as "not to provide any martyrs" among the demonstrators, but the unrest gauge rose from troublesome to serious to grave. Two weeks ago, feeling its credibility as a government at stake, Saigon broke up a demonstration with tear...
...contemplative Americans, Years of Lightning offers little more than an idealized shadow of the real J.F.K., a monochromatic coin likeness. His resilience, his zest for tough political infighting, his wild Irish humor are scarcely touched upon at all. His weaknesses are ignored or glossed over so swiftly and uncritically that the Bay of Pigs "setback" seems a mere preliminary bout for the Administration's sword's-point showdown over the dismantling of Soviet missile sites in Cuba. "There were those who disagreed with the President," says Peck. But they obviously don't matter very much...
