They could, but no one, not even the Knicks, expect the rest of the best-of-seven series to repeat the action of the first game. The Knicks could hardly play any better; the Lakers clearly can and doubtless will. The Lakers' giant center, Wilt Chamberlain, for instance, may never again be as effectively neutralized. Teammate Jerry West, the alltime N.B.A. play-off scoring leader, cannot do anything but improve his sickly opening-game shooting performance of three baskets in 15 attempts. At the very least, the Knicks1 performance in the first game gave promise that the championship series...
Politically, the man who stands to gain the most if there is a reaction to Nixon's belligerence is Senator George McGovern of South Dakota (see story on page 19). His identification with the antiwar cause will doubtless help him in this week's primaries in Massachusetts and Pennsylvania. Senator Edmund Muskie of Maine pledged to stop the bombing of the North and withdraw all troops from Indochina, in return for the release of U.S. P.O.W.s, "within 60 days of my inauguration." Hubert Humphrey, his chief centrist rival, knows that he is tarred with having been Lyndon Johnson's Vice...
Rules. This would do nothing to help the Democrats' chances of regaining the presidency, which, after all, is the purpose of the convention. In the ferocity of their intraparty feuding, some Democrats seem to have forgotten this. It would doubtless be soul-satisfying for some reformers to give Daley his comeuppance and expel him and his claque from Miami. But what happens then? muses a National Committee official. "Are we going to say: 'Well, Dick, we know it's going to cost us Illinois, but a rule's a rule'?" The reform-minded 1972 convention...
...lack of decent housing for poor people living in the nation's largest cities has long been a national scandal. Doubtless it contributed to the fury of the race riots that plagued U.S. ghettos in the mid-1960s. In response, Congress in 1968 directed the Federal Housing Administration to help the poor buy homes in "high risk" areas by guaranteeing mortgages and sometimes subsidizing part of their mortgage payments. But with indictments last week in New York and Philadelphia and investigations under way elsewhere, that program itself was becoming a scandal in which the poor once again had become...
...face-minus the tip of his nose-to turn yellow. Albert frightened off a violin teacher by throwing a chair at her, hurled a bowling ball at his sister, and in one fit of rage tried to "knock a hole" in her head with a toy trowel. "It is doubtless evident," wrote the harried Maja, "that a healthy skull is a necessity for the sister of a thinker...
