Additionally, Nixon will be strongly catapulted toward a successful re-election bid in 1972. He might then with reason set a new goal of a Republican House of Representatives...
Houses of Hair. The Hashemite kings of Jordan set in motion the forces that have led to this shift in loyalties. Amman was a dusty musabilah, or market town, when King Abdullah, Hussein's grandfather, made it the capital of his new kingdom in 1921. Most of the country's Bedouins roamed Transjordan's eastern deserts, proud and hawklike men who scorned as inferiors the Arabs in cities.

Potential Havoc. Lawyers for the N.A.A.C.P. Legal Defense Fund argued before the court last week that this approach should set a pattern for the South.

This year, he more than made amends as he hit .429, scored five runs, batted in six others, and set a five-game Series record for most total bases (17), with two homers, two doubles and five singles. Hitting safely in every game, he also tied several other Series batting marks: most hits (9), most hits in one game (4), most extra-base hits (4), and most total bases on extra-base hits (12). Yet for all his prowess at the plate, it was in the field...
