With his canny knack for beating the rap, Teamster Topdog James Riddle Hoffa has survived 1) an A.F.L-C.I.O. expulsion order, 2) federal investigations of his income tax returns, 3) a pair of Justice Department prosecutions for wiretapping and bribery, and 4) the Landrum-Griffin labor law, which was written largely to unscrew Hoffa's hammerlock on most of the U.S. transportation industry. Just about the last hope of halting Hoffa is the three-man Teamster Board of Monitors, set up three years ago by a Federal court to keep the 1,650,000-member union at least reasonably clean...
Loaded Ointment. For months West German secret police had suspected that there was a security leak in the defense committee. Last week police agents trailed two suspected couriers to the Bonn Airport, seized the pair for questioning after one had booked passage to Vienna.

Above all, he comes with a pair of gifted squires, Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewe, now the best writer-composer team in the American musical theater. Lerner, the librettist, and Loewe, the composer, have already proved themselves worthy of the King. Their last try was My Fair Lady. They also did Brigadoon, Paint Your Wagon, and the much-Oscared film Gigi. They have now written...
Amid all the hullabaloo about who's ahead in scientific achievement, the Swedish Academy of Science, which awards Nobel Prizes in chemistry and physics, has remained notably indifferent to political leanings. It was not pro-Western sympathy but professional admiration that last week made a pair of U.S. scientists the 1960 Nobel prizewinners in chemistry and physics...
