...Milwaukee she spoke to the park executives, accepted a gift of 25 hawthorn trees to be planted in District of Columbia parks, helped to dedicate a new three-domed horticultural conservatory, planted a chestnut seedling in a park. Aware that she was in the city that beer helped make famous, she tactfully omitted mentioning discarded beer cans when she called litter "one of the greatest detractors of beauty," then praised the beer industry for urging customers to "stow away, don't throw them away...
Under the towering cast-iron statue of a busty Mädchen who symbolizes Bavaria, Munich crowds gathered at the Theresienwiese fairground last week for the year's biggest community beer bash, the 16-day Oktoberfest. Dating from the come-everybody wedding reception 155 years ago of Bavaria's Crown Prince Ludwig, Oktoberfest today is an excuse for games, gourmandising and, among Bavarians, whose per capita annual beer consumption is 218 quarts, for quaffing the amber Märzenbier.* Seven big beer tents steined out Märzenbier last week, but nowhere was it downed faster than...
...most of Watts's pillaeed stores still closed, but the slum is still without a single restaurant, bowling alley, roller rink or movie theater (the nearest cinema is a 60?, four-mile round-trip bus ride away).

Speechwriter Richard Goodwin, who resigned last week, has been offered $250,000 for his J.F.K.-L.B.J. reminiscences-if he cares to write them. Lawyer Myer Feldman, who quit last March as counsel to the President, is making many times his $28,500 White House salary as a partner in a Washington law firm. And, of course, Feldman is writing his memoirs...
Other Administration dropouts have found room at the top without writing a line about the Cuban crisis or J.F.K.'s opinion of Dean Rusk. Andrew Hatcher, a Negro who earned $18,000 as assistant White House press secretary, is now market-promotions manager for the Ballantine beer outfit. Another former press aide, Malcolm Kilduff, whose chief claim to fame is that he announced Kennedy's death to the press in Dallas, is in the $50,000-a-year bracket as a partner in a Washington public relations firm...
