Blitz Trips. Rhodes, 57, who won office in 1962 by pledging to put the budget in shape, levy no new taxes, and expand employment, is a man obsessed with what jobs mean. As he sees it, unemployment is the root of most social ills and thus is the paramount political issue. Last fall, running for a second four-year term, the Governor plastered the state with two-word stickers: "Rhodes-Jobs."

Whom does a New York sports fan root for these days? The pro-football Giants have turned into dwarfs (see col. 2), and the Jets are strictly subsonic. The Knicks are to pro basketball what Mrs. Miller is to soul music. Baseball's onceproud Yankees are a burnt-out case: they finished tenth last year. And the Mets wound up ninth only because they play in another league with the even worse Chicago Cubs...
