...with a certain alienated majesty." Hopper was a genius of this kind; he painted not only what Americans have seen from the corners of their eyes, but what they have dimly thought and felt about it. People sitting on porches or by windows, the silent, sun-drenched Cape Cod houses or rows of blank-faced Manhattan store fronts on an early Sunday morning-all are vignettes glimpsed and pondered by a reflective traveler...
...Boozing Brutes." The son of a country lawyer, Masefield wrote roistering early verses peppered with adventures that he had packed into his teens. He went to sea as a cook, rose to the rank of master mariner, and sailed around Cape Horn. He went to the U.S., where he crossed the continent as a hobo, worked in a Greenwich Village saloon and, while employed in a Yonkers, N.Y., carpet factory, finally realized that his metier was poetry.

Cheaper in Clusters. Instead of monolithic developments, Levitt today has eleven neighborhood-size communities of varied styles and prices ($16,000 to $33,000) rising from Long Island to Cape Kennedy-plus operations in Puerto Rico and France.

At the age of 49, he died of leprosy, or Hansen's disease...
Into Washington this week flies C. K. Yen, 61, vice president, premier and, most important, chief economic planner of the Nationalist Chinese government on Taiwan. Within the fortnight following he will pay calls on President Johnson, Secretary of State Dean Rusk, businessmen and Chinese communities from Cape Kennedy to San Francisco. Remarkably, he seeks no financial handouts of any sort. But, he admits in a modest way, he would indeed be pleased by recognition of the dramatic fact that Taiwan has become a model for Asian economic development...
