...hear some of them tell it, Johnson is a blindfold cinch. "He doesn't give me any trouble at all," says the Los Angeles Times's gifted Paul Conrad (TIME, Jan. 31), who accentuates what he calls the President's "dish face." The Chicago Sun-Times's Bill Mauldin, who found Kennedy "inscrutable" and therefore hard to capture, ropes Johnson with ease: "He's scrutable. What he's thinking shows through." The Washington Star's James Berryman, who has harpooned Presidents for 31 years, considers Johnson "the answer to a cartoonist...
Still Talking. The FBI admitted that it had got some help from young Sinatra.

He pitches one inning on his knees, another while standing at second base, a third while wearing a blindfold. Sometimes he throws the ball between his legs or behind his back. When the ball is hit back toward the mound, he snares it and, instead of throwing to first, pretends to examine the seams; then, just in time, Feigner fires the ball behind his back and throws the runner...
Next day at dawn, Grimau, pale but composed, was led into the courtyard of Carabanchel Prison just outside Madrid. He walked alone to the wall, refused a blindfold, shouted "Viva el Comunismo!", and then collapsed under a volley of shots fired by Spanish Moroccan troops...
