...thing for a hockey player to pose for collar ads, for a baseball manager to turn banker, for a track star to get elected to Congress-or even for an ex-boxer to take up 32 lines in Who's Who. But when a rodeo cowboy drifts into town in his own $11,500 airplane, passes up the saloons and heads instead for Howard Johnson's-"because I like the ice cream"-well, respectability has crossed the last frontier...
...Gutsy Duck. To replace Lodge, who saw U.S. troop strength in Viet Nam rise from 16,000 to 420,000 during his current 19-month tour, Johnson tapped Ambassador-at-Large Ellsworth Bunker, 72. A courtly, starched-collar Vermonter who in 1951 left the sugar industry for diplomatic duty, Bunker is a tall, spare man who is known as a deft negotiator. As Ambassador to Argentina, he dealt with Dictator Juan Peron during a period of rabid Argentine anti-Americanism, had the satisfaction of seeing him exiled.

Olin Mathieson Chemical Corp. bought 60 acres in Stamford, Conn., for its chemical division, along with 700 white-collar workers. Uris Buildings Corp., builder of dozens of Manhattan's new glass-girt office towers, announced plans for a huge laboratory-office center in suburban Rockland (N.Y.) County in anticipation of further corporate moves from the city...
...course, is legendary. In appearance he combines the best traits of Henry James' English gentleman and Robert Frost's New England farmer. Custom tailored three-piece suits with cuffs that really button set off a lined, craggy face. The white hair is long, sometimes over the collar, and the flaring bushy eyebrows suggest now an urbane devil, now a hoary Puck...
