...search for a successor to Mc Cone had been going on ever since last June, when McCone let it be known that he wanted to leave his controversial job. The names of at least 40 men had been bandied about. But Raborn was on nobody's list of possibilities -nobody's, that is, except Lyndon Johnson's. The President remembered Raborn as an administrative genius who developed the Navy's Polaris missile system three years ahead of schedule. And what he wanted was an administrative genius as head of the CIA - which can certainly...
Lucy's little tousle-haired brother Linus is the strip's intellectual, but he is thrown into a tizzy whenever he loses his security blanket. "Sucking your thumb without a blanket," he confides, "is like eating a cone without ice cream." Linus is Horatio Alger in reverse: "No problem is so big or so complicated that it cannot be run away from." Snoopy, the dog with the floppy ears and foolish smile, is the perfect hedonist. He dances, skates, jumps rope, hunches like a vulture but above all likes to lie flat on his back...
...fanfare is Richard Fargo Brown, at 48 one of the younger major U.S. museum directors, and a man who, in a young city that thrives on cultural imbroglios, thrives on his wit and wisdom.

In summer, every shirtsleeve seems to end in an ice cream cone. In any season it is Sunday, and the people wadded up against the doubled Corinthian columns are waiting to get into the most culturally concentrated 20 acres in the U.S.-New York's Metropolitan Museum...
Life is pop ballet, a modern parable that mocks contemporary values. To the stabbing atonal music of Charles Ives, the dancers move through four stages of life against a background of giant flats of pop art-IBM cards, an ice-cream cone, green stamps, comic-strip characters. By contrast, Lucifer is classical ballet, eschewing pantomime and narrative for a more abstract visualization of Hindemith's austere Concert Music for Strings and Brass. After the angels assemble for "a typical day in heaven," Lucifer appears, defiant and strutting, and engages in graceful combat with Archangel Michael, only to be felled...
