...movement began two years ago in a lipstick-colored room called the Red Garter. This year the sound of strumming has spread throughout the Bay Area (one banjo bar has already opened in Los Angeles, and no other U.S. city can feel absolutely safe). Despite names like the Honey Bucket and the Purple Girdle, Greater San Francisco's six banjo bars are respectable, all-beer niteries with red-checked tablecloths. Says one waiter: "We'll match college degrees with any bar in town...
...raise to discourage the taking of graft. Problem is where to find the money. Chang's men claim they could get it painlessly by confiscating the ill-gotten gains of Rhee's ministers. Privately, they admit such confiscations would be only a drop in the bucket. They would like to have the U.S. foot the bill, but the U.S. is more likely to reduce its aid than to increase it. Only alternative, claim Chang's strategists, is an inevitably painful reduction of the army from...
...less than an hour, the customers can cross the Rockies in an ore bucket, cruise the Great Lakes in a sternwheeler, crouch in a bunker at Cape Canaveral and watch the missile gap narrow with a perfect shot every six minutes. On the northern outskirts of New York City (the real one), where big, white-ribbon highways trellis over swampy wastes, Freedomland opens next week. Billed as "the world's largest outdoor entertainment center," it rises out of a former garbage dump, is nothing less than a replica of the continental U.S.A., 833 yds. from parkway to shining parkway...
...gifted enough to see. One artist found himself well supplied with old beams when his house was torn down. A favorite smock that has become too worn to wear can be dipped in glue and hurled against a door, and a generous helping of red paint mixed with bucket, cans and surgical gauze produces a grizzly montage called Capt Canaveral. But the show also has surprises of another sort. A 24-year-old Englishman named Anthony Magar has used burned and stained wood, stitched canvas and pounded metal to create a big picture that is as pleasing as an autumn...
Until their engines start, the cars look like casual products of the neighborhood junkyard. The body is an open, tubular-steel chassis with a wheelbase of some 40 in., a bucket seat that rests a scant two inches above the ground. Knees stuffed under his chin, the driver cramps behind the wheel like a frog in a walnut. Then the two dinky, 6-h.p. engines perched behind the seat begin to snarl, and the bedspring contraption becomes a hot, highly engineered racing machine that can hit 85 m.p.h. on the straightaway, drift through corners like a Maserati. Says one driver...
