...been spotlighting Negro grievances in the Chicago area through demonstrations, scheduled a march to protest closed housing in Cicero early last month, but called it off at the urging of Chicago religious and civic leaders. He scheduled it again for last Sunday-to the horror of Illinois officials. Cook County Sheriff Richard Ogilvie warned that a march through Cicero would be "suicidal" and would make previous disturbances in Chicago itself "look like a tea party...
...seems to have a scapegoat. Agriculture Secretary Orville Freeman puts at least part of the blame on the housewife. After all, Freeman notes, she insists on buying such processed meals as TV dinners, when the same ingredients would cost her one-third as much if she were willing to cook for herself.

Peter Sellers, as a sawbones who specializes in questionable cases, looks like a depraved caricature of Benjamin Franklin, while Wilfrid Lawson all but steals the show as a loyal family retainer so pickled in alcohol that-whatever the charge...
...Luci, the last few months became a blurred montage of interviews and photographs, of last-minute domestic tips from her mother and from Cook Zephyr Wright, of shopping excursions in Manhattan and Washington, of parties and showers, of picking silverware (Old Maryland pattern) and china (Ambassador Limoges). After accompanying her father on a fast one-day swing through Indiana, Illinois and Kentucky late last month, she appeared so wan in public that the White House explained that she was exhausted, not ill. Nonetheless, at a press conference a few days earlier, Luci had proved more than a match...
