...part-time secretarial job with the Los Angeles Times's Paris office. This led to stringer work for the Times and then for TIME. After Army service he joined our Montreal bureau. Frank Merrick, now in Chicago, succumbed early-after his first summer job as a siren-chasing cub reporter for the Holyoke (Mass.) Transcript-Telegram. In 1968, while reporting for seven New England papers, Merrick became a TIME stringer in New Hampshire. "I got to cover the guy who looked like a sure loser-Gene McCarthy," says Merrick. After the primary he was hired as a correspondent...
...clubhouse. A feeling that they're them and I'm me." His teammate Gene Washington, who grooves on $350 Oscar de la Renta suits, deplores the "archaic regimen" of traditional football-club rules. "Room checks at 11 p.m. on a Friday night before a Sunday game is Cub Scout stuff. I think professional players are above that.

With greater selective judgment, Criss could have shortened this play by one hour and made far better use of his extremely gifted actors. Where he did venture into experimentation, he had solid backing from John Jacobson...
...most auto races, the competing cars have about as much in common with the family flivver as an Apollo spacecraft has with a Piper Cub. Not in the Trans-American Championship for sports sedans. Commonly known as the Trans-Am, the competition is limited to genuine stock cars; the rules restrict engine size to 305 cu. in. and require that at least 2,500 identical models be in general distribution. The result is what Tracy Bird, executive director of the sponsoring Sports Car Club of America, calls "product identity," a sense of involvement that has drawn more than...
