...most encouraging notes of the visit came when Kiesinger spoke at a National Press Club luncheon. Said he: "We no longer look upon the United States as the big brother to whom one comes running as soon as something goes wrong." If the syntax was Germanic, the sentiment was distinctly and hopefully Atlantic...
...Tais. In Honolulu, tourists line up for blocks for his three shows a night at Duke Kahanamoku's 700-seat club. On the mainland, he has done sellout business from the Royal Box of Manhattan's Americana Hotel to Los Angeles' Cocoanut Grove, where he holds the house record. His fans range from Lyndon Johnson's sister Rebekah Bobbitt, who attended a party welcoming him to New York, to Jacqueline Kennedy, who caught his first show at the Duke's on her visit to Hawaii last year, stayed right through to the 3 a.m. closing...
Williams' story does contain some rib-a'd fun. "Come on, desiccated creeps," Reaney cries out in a with-it drinking club, "throw off your guilt, throw out your chests, you're English.

Beatleologists, in varying degrees of erudition, are the new breed of Beatles fan, and they may make the Beatles more contemplated than Buddha...
There is a rumor that the Beatles wanted to rename themselves "Seargent Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band," and that the album cover depicts a wake at the grave of that old and outdated group called the Beatles. The new name stirs up nostalgic images of a group of old Edwardians seated on a bandstand in military uniforms playing brass marches in a simpler age of long summer afternoons. The Beatles may also know that the Edwardian age was one of violent idealistic movements, once described as "Britain's national nervous breakdown," and much closer our own age than most...
