Anxious to be on their own ways, the delegates cheered their final cheer and cleared out quickly. But Lyndon still had some partying ahead. In Convention Hall's ballroom, 5,000 guests crushed around to wish him a happy 56th birthday, while Comedian Danny Thomas burbled into a mike, "This is just a bunch of happy souls who are celebrating a happy day." It was certainly a happy one for Lyndon. "I've been going to conventions since 1928," he drawled, "and this one is the best one of all." Before a 10-ft. by 6-ft. birthday...
...back in 1935 Flynn senior cast some lead upon the waters, a super-colossal sinker called Captain Blood, and he would certainly cheer to hear that it had come home, covered all over with green stuff, to a lad of 23 who seems willing and able to follow in his father's bootsteps...
...representatives of an organization forthrightly dedicated to whoopee in a good cause, the Shriners are pranksters by profession, obligation and tradition.

Caught in a wage-price spiral that this year alone has boosted wages 19% in The Netherlands, European manufacturers are no longer able to cover increasing expenses out of their...
...including Hay Day, the talking nude. In Judgment Day, she depicts a standing angel trumpeting the word "Repent." Fastened to the canvas is a curved sports-car horn, and by squeezing the large rubber bulb that honks it, a gallerygoer can bellow an unrepentent riposte full of good Bronx cheer. Independence Day puts a tiny Statue of Liberty atop a large black pyramid. When the switch is turned on, Miss Liberty's torch blinks redly, and an ingeniously spliced tape combines the distorted voice of Mae West with electronic sounds that convey a mounting hysteria of urban cacophony...
