Kane found the three weeks he spent traveling with the Tigers a kind of on-the-job vacation. As a ball fan who grew up in Washington, D.C., and learned the game by watching the ever-losing Senators, he found it pleasant to be with a winner for a change. "While my associates were involved with more serious problems-convention coverage and urban warfare-I was utterly consumed with baseball. I sat through some fifteen ball games, including a doubleheader that had a 19-inning second game. I was never bored for a minute...
Looking to 1972. In defeat, McCarthy stuck to his guns. The traditional show of party unity was beyond him-particularly after what he had seen on Michigan Avenue-and he refused to appear on the convention platform with the winner. He would not, he said, endorse either Humphrey or Nixon. "We've forgotten the convention," he told his supporters. "We've forgotten the Vice President. We've forgotten the platform." For the next two months, he said, he would work for senatorial candidates who supported his view on the war. In the future, he would work...
...death triumph over Oklahoman Labron Harris in the $100,000 Philadelphia Golf Classic. Murph the Girth shot a twelve-under-par 276 for 72 holes, then rammed home a 15-ft. birdie putt on the third play-off hole to gain his first professional victory and the $20,000 winner's check. The previous week he led the $250,000 Westchester Classic after three rounds, only to lose to Boros on the final hole. That time Murph picked up a check for $20,416. Total earnings to date...
Perhaps the worst aspect of CBW is the easy availability of its weapons. While the nuclear club remains relatively exclusive, nuclear arms can continue to provide a built-in deterrent-a balance of terror that restrains nuclear powers from starting a war in which winner and loser alike will figuratively glow in the dark. Members of the CBW club may soon multiply. And their very number could vastly increase the possibility that one of them could be tempted to exercise CBW's awful power...
...comes as a shock that Coz zens, in his first novel since By Love Possessed (TIME cover, Sept. 2, 1957), has attempted to write a severe anti-novel. Not surprisingly, the result is less than successful. Henry Worthington is like most Cozzens heroes. Society judges him a winner, but on the basis of his own secretly harbored prima facie evidence he wonders if he just might not be a loser after all. A successful management consultant of "sixty odd," Worthington decides with metaphorical directness to examine the management -and meaning-of his own life. His method, however, is indirect...
