...exacting that artists have devoted a lifetime to mastering the technique. First, the brick wall had to be prepared with several coats of a special plaster made with slaked lime that had been aged for a year or so. Then the painter deftly laid on his water-base colors, which were sucked into the wall by capillary action. He had to work quickly, for the paint he added after the plaster had dried lay on the surface and could eventually flake off. But color applied while the plaster was damp stayed in it for centuries. As visitors to the Metropolitan...
...well off, judging from the nifty apartment they occupy. Still, Julia needs a job. She is turned away by America's only personnel director who is not desperate to hire Negroes. Fortunately, she finds a protector in cantankerous Dr. Chegley (Lloyd Nolan), who doesn't care what color she is as long as she knows her business. Some of Julia's problems are black, but her aspirations and life-style are white.

Yet sure enough, there was George Wallace in living color at Jeannie's usual time, dispensing his own brand of sugar-sweet demagoguery in his first nationwide TV appeal. For all the contrast, the substitution of George for Jeannie was bizarrely apt. For like the star of the show-a genie-Wallace is a specter that both major parties would prefer to see back in the bottle...
...carry life jackets. But a lot of people do not bother with them. And why? Consider the answer of one power-boater on Oregon's Willamette River when a Coast Guard safety check found no life preservers aboard his cabin cruiser. "They don't match the color of my boat, that's all," said the owner...
