...Atlantic, told visiting Soviet Premier Alexei Kosygin that "our Europe is a whole" even in Bonn, where West Germany's new Chancellor declared: "We wish to have relations of trust with every nation, including the East, the Soviet Union." Europe, in short, may well be on the brink of a major realignment, and Johnson's maneuvers are designed to guarantee a U.S. role...

"For your birthday," reads one, "just a refreshing wish . . . may your cesspool never clog." For graduation, American Greetings has a suitable Hi Brow: "Your jaw is firm, your gaze is steady, your mind is alert, your head is high . . . your fly is open." Anyone who is tired...
...logic is hard to beat. The Liverpool sound sells records; so does rock 'n' roll, so does straight pop, so does country music. Why not bring together four kids, one for each style, name them the Monkees, promote them harder than hair oil, and hire a Brink's truck to haul the money away...
