...looks like a sparrow in shorts next to the burly "hatchetmen" who triple-team him to cries of "Break the bastard's legs!" Best's revenge is "to make them feel so inferior they'll never want to play football again." He does it with speed, deception and an uncanny skill for controlling the ball while warding off tacklers. Earlier this season, coming off a 28-day suspension for angrily slapping the ball out of a referee's hands, Best humbled Northampton by scoring a record-tying six goals in a single game. In last week...
...Pentagon is now moving to speed up the processing of men with numbers below 215. This does not indicate that 215 will be the ceiling for the year. Rather, it reflects a growing recognition (and concern) of the amount of time which clauses between reclassifying a man 1-A and inducting him. Men whose deferments are expiring will have their physicals and personal appearances soon after they become 1-A. Many college seniors are being called for physicals now so that they will be indictable immediately upon graduation. These procedures are being employed to give the Pentagon a better indication...
...quota-perhaps only as far as =200 in September or later months. Thus. it is mathematically possible that unless more effort is made to process people soon. a higher number will be reached in an early month than in a later one. The critical point is that the current speed of thirty numbers per month will slow up appreciably as the pool grows. Furthermore, there is a chance that the numbers will actually start to regress-reach a high point of 240 or 250 or 260 in August or September, and then not rise above 200 for the rest...
...Bench's success has come as easily and naturally as a second-grader's daydreams. Back in Binger, which he says is "two miles beyond Resume Speed," he was high school class valedictorian and an all-state basketball and baseball player. Since the Binger nine had only nine players, he shuttled between third base and the pitcher's mound, compiling a 16-1 record with "a lot of no-hitters." So why did he give up pitching for the less glamorous job of catching? "Maybe," he says, "it was because I hit .675 in high school...
...sensitized" molecules directly into the plastic's carbon chain. When these "S" groups absorb ultraviolet light from direct sunlight, he says, their carbon "backbones" soon begin to be decomposed by microorganisms. But indoors-even in front of glass windows-they will not be affected. Guillet claims that the speed of the breakdown can be controlled by varying the number of "S" groups bonded into the plastic molecules. He also thinks that the process would raise the price of plastics by only a few cents per pound...
