THE AUTHORS: After President Johnson made his dramatic announcement disclosing the existence of the fantastic A-11 "interceptor," Post contributing writer James Atwater found that nobody in the Pentagon wanted to talk about it. Atwater, a former Air Force officer, questioned many knowledgeable Washington sources and pieced together engineers' estimates to find out the details on what the plane can do -- and what it can't . . . In Cincinnati's Tampa training camp to get the story of pitcher Al Worthington, John Devaney agreed to catch a few thrown by the Reds' fastballer Jim Maloney: "I thought he was just going to lob 'em. Couldn't move my hand for three days." . . . Joseph Wechsberg, an American who lives in Vienna, admires the casual style in Lloyd's of London, where incredible amounts of insurance are underwritten at a hectic pace.
Pete Hamill tells how Catherine Spaak spent an afternoon before the cameras while covered with nothing but bank notes. She is, he says, not so bored as she pretends. . . . Zygmunt Broniarek, Polish reporter at the White House, would like it known he wrote his piece in his own English . . . Evan Hill says he now understands why 50 percent of doctors' patients show psychosomatic symptoms. He experienced most ailments he studied for his report on diagnosis . . . Martin Mayer, who writes regularly on business and entertainment, thinks Pat Weaver, onetime president of NBC, may be the man to bring big-time pay TV to America.
