Never in recent memory was a Fourth of July greeted with so ubiquitous a display of the Stars and Stripes. Flag decals could be seen on family and police cars, on buses and baby carriages. Flags fluttered from the usual poles, of course, but they were also being used in wom en's dress and hat designs. On a New York City subway platform, a man was seen wearing blue trousers, a red-white-and-blue striped belt and a dark blue shirt studded with white stars...
...walls and the interior had fallen into ruin. Refurbished with the aid of nearly $500,000 from Frederick W. Beinecke, S. & H. trading-stamp executive, plus construction materials donated at cost by the George A.

Some Western European Communists went home with the feeling that the display of foreign dissent might fan the embers of Russia's native discontents.

...commissary ("We've got a nice Valley of the Dolls Salad," suggests the waitress), the Hollywood types are naively shocked when told they will have to pay $2,500 for a week's display of Dr. Dolittle record albums in the windows of a Manhattan store. And how to get Rex Harrison to go to South America to plug the movie? Well, suggests one publicist, since the lobby-display pushmi-pulyus were made in Peru, "I think I can get him decorated by the Peruvian government for promoting cottage industry . . . The Condor of the Andes or something like...
