...Madison Square Garden, 18,000 clamorous fans gave him a roaring ovation for 28 minutes, interrupted his 35-minute speech more than 100 times with applause. In Cleveland's Public Hall, a near-capacity crowd of 15,000 yelled, screamed, honked horns and rang bells for eleven minutes before Barry finally got them quiet by holding up a silver pocket watch. In Pittsburgh, 15,000 jammed the Civic Arena, raised the roof for 19 minutes before letting the candidate open his mouth...
Herman's most sweeping project is the "Western Addition" just west of the downtown business district, where a Negro slum, eleven by four blocks, is being leveled and replaced by apartment houses, office buildings, a hospital, a medical building, garages, a Japanese Cultural and Trade Center and a Roman Catholic cathedral, and a 299-unit, successfully integrated cooperative. But more conspicuous is the Golden Gateway project at the foot of Telegraph Hill. On the site of the fragrant old Central Market, which was moved, like Philadelphia's, to more efficient, truck-oriented quarters far from the center of town, three...
...Protestant towns of New England had long been strongholds of Yankee conservatism; yet Johnson knocked them off consistently. Verona, Me., (pop. 435) went for Johnson 139 to 55-almost an exact reversal of its 1960 margin for Richard Nixon.

Connecticut's only Republican Congressman, Abner Sibal, lost narrowly to the lawyer he had beaten in 1960, Donald J. Irwin. Four New Jersey Democrats defeated Republican incumbents, giving that state its first Democratic congressional majority (eleven seats to four) in 52 years. Louisville's former Democratic Mayor Charles Farnsley, a lanky eccentric who affects custom-made ante bellum clothes but is nevertheless a popular middle-reader, unseated Republican Incumbent Gene Snyder, who angered the district's 78.000 Negroes by voting against the civil rights bill. Across the nation, a dozen other conservative Republicans also toppled. Among them...
...almost to the exclusion of the older principal dancers. Patricia Neary, 22, for example, who graduated from the corps de ballet just last year, has per formed 47 solos so far this season, while Maria Tallchief, 39, long the company's biggest box-office attraction, has danced but eleven times. Tallchief, the fourth of Balanchine's five ballerina wives, says wistfully: "When I was married to Mr. Balanchine, he created his greatest roles for me; it is hard to watch others doing them. I have not danced enough this season, that I know...
