Recently in Phu Bai a Navy doctor paused in the midst of treating a long line of village children to wipe his brow and expostulated: "Dammit, if we could just get these people to wash their kids off with soap and water, half of the cases we're treating here today wouldn't be sick." A marine corporal near by listened and nodded. Next day five marines, four washtubs and a bag of towels pulled into Phu Bai in a Jeep, and an assembly line was soon set up. One by one the village's toddlers were...
...past year has left its imprint on the features and the temperament of the President. The crevices in cheeks and brow are more deeply graven; his hair is markedly greyer. Johnson's demeanor-in public, at least-has become noticeably more restrained, more responsive to the image of his office. Yet, an erect 6 ft. 3 in., he still exudes irrepressibly the hill-countryman's crackling vitality; his pace is still hell-for-leather, his self-confidence as massive as ever. When asked by an aide how he felt about the job last week, Lyndon replied buoyantly...
...yacht five years ago, has seen sales soar from $1,000,000 to $14 million. Its largest model, a 53-ft. motor yacht, offers all the amenities found on Chris Crafts, plus built-in television, bathtub, washer-dryer combination and ironing board, symbols of domesticity that would wrinkle the brow of any old salt. The 50-ft., $100,000 Hatteras usually comes off the ways weighed down with stereo tape and record players, a boat-wide complex of stereo speakers, built-in bar with electric ice-cube maker, dishwasher, disposal, wall-to-wall carpeting and air conditioning...

But a fuel line burst in third-place Miss Exide's engine compartment. The flames forced Driver Bill Brow to dive into the lake, and that automatically halted the race. The finals would have to be rerun As the boats maneuvered for the last start, Musson boldly flashed across the line in almost the same split second the gun sounded, getting a 50-yd. jump on Miss Notre Dame...
...Bundy brings solid-gold credentials. A summa cum laude Yale graduate in mathematics, at 34 he became the first Yale-educated dean of Harvard's Faculty of Arts and Sciences. A compactly built man (5 ft. 10 in., 165 Ibs.) with greying brown hair, his pink cheeks, furrowed brow and plastic-rimmed glasses give him the air of a slightly perplexed professor. A professor he has been, but there is not a pennyweight of perplexity in him. He is self-confident to the point of arrogance, intelligent to the point of intimidation. "I've always thought...
