JOAN SUTHERLAND SINGS NOEL COWARD (London). The Australian prima donna has no chance for operatic fireworks but lights little sparklers from Conversation Piece, Bitter Sweet and three later musicals, while Noel himself makes a veddy charming bow (/'// Follow My Secret Heart). The orchestra is lush; the violins sway with the nostalgic waltzes that are light years away from today's Broadway...
...celebrated encounter between Lyndon Johnson and Robert Kennedy at the White House on Feb. 6, following reports that Kennedy had been involved in peace feelers from Hanoi. The nature and tone of that meeting are not at issue; previous stories made clear that it was hostile and bitter. Since the tension between the President and the Senator kept growing-and is of national political significance-we tried to reconstruct the details of the meeting via many conversations that White House Correspondent Hugh Sidey had with sources close to the Johnson and Kennedy camps...
Untold Story. Caught between rapidly rising farm costs (up 2% in the past year) and declining prices for their products (down 7% in the same period), farmers are bitter and increasingly rebellious.

Socialist leaders do not miss the fact that French Communists...
After years of bitter competition for talent, the National Football League and the American Football League joined forces in Manhattan last week for the first common draft of college players. As a spectacle it was a tribute to marital bliss-and the unassailable fact that two can live cheaper than one. Gone were the dark tales of interleague raiding, of burly "baby sitters" keeping prize prospects hidden from rival league kidnapers. Gone too were the fantastic bonuses of yesteryear. The most a top draft choice could expect was a mere $200,000 or so-which is nice enough, but nothing...
