...those who complain that this is too much money, continued Johnson, "I would like to suggest that we cannot logically oppose the effects of poverty and the efforts to relieve them. We can not abhor the disease and then fight the cure." He also went out of his way to compliment the "able and inspiring" Sargent Shriver, the antipoverty czar. Besides having to endure indirect criticism from Brother-in-Law Bobby, Shriver has had his budget requests cut sharply, and faces a Republican campaign to disband his Office of Economic Opportunity entirely...

They have comprised a mint of Rockefellers, a socko of showbiz moguls from MCA's Jules Stein to the late Billy Rose...
...gravity. But the laws of levity begin to go topsyturvy as well in Agent's craven acts of homage to its prototype. Curling under Adams' sheets, one pussycat purrs: "I met someone like you in Florida. Called himself James . . . James Something."
