...climax came on July 5, a Friday, which happened to be Pompidou's 57th birthday. De Gaulle called in Couve to the Elysée for long and serious talks that morning, and worried friends telephoned Pompidou to tell him about the unexpected conferences. That afternoon Couve came to a routine Cabinet meeting at the Hotel Matignon, the Premier's official residence, and told Pompidou that he felt that Pompidou should remain as Premier and that if Pompidou wished to, he should tell the general...
...Senator Eugene McCarthy. But against Republican objections, the Democratic members narrowly excluded Bobby Kennedy 5 to 4, on the curious grounds that his protestations of disinterest were more credible than, say, Rockefeller's. As for Reagan, even though he told a Sacramento press conference, held on his 57th birthday last week, that "I don't want to be on a ticket at all," he will not file an affidavit of disavowal...

A record 42,000 visitors showed up when Kansas City's Nelson Gallery staged a month-long "Sound Light Silence" show last November.

Father of Hatred. The N.A.A.C.P., which usually manages to accomplish a good deal at its parleys, spent most of its 57th annual convention responding to the black-power advocates, a defensive stance that many N.A.A.C.P. members deplored. Openly bestowing his blessing on the N.A.A.C.P., President Johnson took the occasion to say in a Texas press conference: "We are not interested in black power and we're not interested in white power, but we are interested in American democratic power with a small d." Addressing the Los Angeles meeting, Vice President Hubert Humphrey added: "There is no room in America...
