Died. William Montgomery McGovern, 67, political science professor at Northwestern University, who was the first Westerner to enter Tibet's forbidden city of Lhasa, befriended Chinese Revolutionary Sun Yat-sen and served as a top World War II intelligence adviser, experiences that made his "McGoo" lectures the featured attraction on Northwestern's campus for 30 years; after a long illness; in Evanston...
...Everybody's feeling the strain." If the weary Packers win their way into the N.F.L. playoff, they will face a New York Giants team, coached by canny Allie Sherman, that is far stronger and far fresher than the squad they trounced last time around. Giant Quarterback Y. A. ("Yat") Tittle is this year's master of the long pass, the touchdown "bomb," has thrown more scores (27) than any other pro.

"You call an automatic " says Tittle, "not so much to get into something better, as to get out of something worse." And when things go very wrong he can be a testy leader. "Yat has the enthusiasm of a high school kid " says Halfback Frank Gifford, 32. "This is great for our young players: when they see a 36-year-old man get so fired up they have to get excited, too. Heck, so do I and I'm no kid." Against Dallas...
