...Adams proved himself far from immutable. He agreed to have his original 55-page platform scrapped, and work was begun on a more radical one. His denunciations of the war became more pointed; he affiliated himself with Reverend Wood in the latter's dispute with Mrs. Hicks; he issued, indirectly, a powerful statement before a meeting of the Mothers for Adequate Welfare in Boston...
Perhaps so, because the latest group to get into the act is the true but hitherto-never-blue Beatles. One of their recent releases, Norwegian Wood, has been interpreted by some as the tale of a man trying to seduce a lesbian. Another, Day Tripper, can be interpreted as the lament of a man who finds out that his girl is a prostitute ("She's a big teaser . . . she only played one-night stands"). If that doesn't shake up the Beatles' fans, then the cover of their latest album would. It is a photograph...
...proceeded to bounce his drive off a tree into the high grass. His second shot, a No. 3 iron, crawled less than 100 yds. through the rough. He had to hit a No. 9 iron just to get the ball back on the fairway.

...Knock Wood. Because Continental eagerly chased such business when some other lines were hesitant, its wholly owned subsidiary, Continental Air Services, has built a considerable enterprise in South Viet Nam, Laos and Thailand, where it is second in activity only to Air America (TIME, June 3).

Says Salinger dryly: "In Viet Nam we fly personnel and supplies around the country. Some of the landing strips aren't very far from...
...Army Jeep slows as it corners on a bumpy, narrow forest road. From the back seat, two wild-eyed German SS troopers lunge uncertainly, then bolt for the nearby wood. A pistol crackles, and the running Germans plop forward on their faces. They were shot while attempting to escape, reports the U.S. Army lieutenant who gunned them down. Not so, insists a civilian witness: the troopers had been commanded to bolt and then were callously murdered. Getting at the truth turns out to be like peeling through several skins of an onion.
