...certain surrealistic quality: there is no other way to describe those tranquil fish swimming around the churning blades, those pretty-grooming lectures to kids in smoldering ghettos. Public relations men can reach into the real world and play: arrange a conference here, a clambake there, strike now a religious chord, then a sexy blue note. This p.r. playfulness can offend, annoy and infuriate. Despite the excellence at the top of the profession, far too many p.r. men still think their chief function is to stage lunches, cocktail parties, junkets, cruises, screenings, no-news press conferences, and other nonevents.

Perverse Sympathy. He never did. In fact, Hoffa's stubborn fight against imprisonment touched a perverse chord of sympathy among his union members. Casting himself in the role of Jean Valjean, Hoffa shouted: "To hell with all our enemies"-and his Teamsters loved it. He played to the hilt the fiction that he was the persecuted Everyman, the scapegoat of the Establishment...

Appropriately, the final plate is Picasso's brush drawing of Don Quixote and Sancho Panza...
Montana. Republican Governor Tim Babcock, 47, running for the U.S. Senate seat occupied by liberal Democrat Lee Metcalf, 55, maintains stoutly that "the rights of the people are being taken away" by Washington. Though Montana has elected only one Republican Senator in 60 years, the Governor strikes a responsive chord among the state's inflation-conscious cattlemen and lumbermen by demanding cutbacks in federal spending. Potentially, however, the most profitable issue for Babcock is the junior Senator's disagreement with the Johnson Administration's Viet Nam policy. While Metcalf advocates that the U.S. "pull...
