Last week L.B.J. showed his own high opinion of J.F.K.'s key aide by naming him to the politically potent Cabinet post of Postmaster General. The appointment drew added piquancy from the fact that O'Brien wanted to give up his White House duties even before John Kennedy's death, and in recent months had been hotly wooed to direct the top-to-bottom reorganization of the Massachusetts Democratic machine sought by yet another Kennedy-Senator Teddy. In any case, Larry had let it be known that he would definitely leave Washington when the present Congress adjourns...
...Foot. But the performers willing and able to play along drown in the gravy. Among the kings of the circuit this year are Gunsmoke's Ken (Festus) Curtis and Milburn (Doc) Stone, who drew 225,000 fans in a week at Billings, Mont. (pop. 62,000) and, at the Kitsap County (Wash.) Fair-with the local impresario's job riding on the outcome-doubled the best previous gross.

So the fans flocked to the park-1,732,597 of them last year, almost 500,000 more than the Yankees drew while winning the American League pennant...
...Ramenofsky, and Patty Caretto who only two days before had set a new world mark for 1,500 meters. For the first 300 meters, it was strictly a two-girl race-with Martha third. Then she began to sprint, flashed past Ramenofsky, overhauled Caretto in the last lap, and drew out to win by 2.5 sec. Her time: a record-smashing 4 min. 39.2 sec. Next day, just to prove it was no fluke, Martha also won the 200-meter freestyle, cracking a U.S. record in the process. Sighed Martha: "One more year, and then I'll quit...
