...about the players. It's the fans-those rabid folks who shell out up to $42 apiece for a season ticket-that they're terrified of. After the Denver Broncos lost their first two games this season, one enraged fan poured a bucketful of garbage over Coach Mac Speedie's head as he ran for the locker room. And in Detroit last week, Coach Harry Gilmer was plastered by a barrage of snowballs when his Lions closed out their worst season in seven years (four wins, nine losses, one tie) by losing to Minnesota 28-16.

The marriage Mr. Mac pines for would neatly couple Douglas' essentially commercial output with a McDonnell product line that is mostly military, under a McDonnell management team that is highly regarded throughout the industry...
...then, Cerf is called in to iron things out when editor-writer relations get difficult. He cajoled Jerome Weidman into rewriting a badly tooled draft of his forthcoming book, Other People's Money. Cerf also thought up the title for the book, as he did for Mac Hyman's No Time for Sergeants, William Brinkley's Don't Go Near the Wa ter, and Nancy Mitford's Love in a Cold Climate...
