Despite a letter from Secretary of State William Rogers saying that granting Mandel a visa was "in the national interest," Mitchell last week refused to allow the 46-year-old economist to make another visit.

The reason: in 1968, Mandel deviated from his itinerary, which under the provisions of the act is forbidden. Mandel claims -and the State Department apparently agrees-that he was never fully briefed on the act's provisions. Recently, Mandel has made a careful study of the McCarran...

Perhaps more important, Reed is the acknowledged captain every moment that he is on the court. Says Coach William ("Red") Holzman: "Willis often tells me what he thinks I should do. I don't always listen, but I have to admit that he's often right." Holzman probably listens more carefully than he cares to concede. With Russell in retirement and Chamberlain sidelined for the season with a leg injury, Reed is the best all-around center in basketball. Says Teammate Cazzie Russell: "Willis is a hell of a competitor, even in practice. He makes us play tough...
