...seemed all Brillo boxes, hoked-up cartoon strips, billboard fragments-and met mostly loud guffaws. But after less than a decade Pop art has not only come of age; it has -such is the accelerated pulse of art movements today-almost become venerable. As a sure sign of esteem, New York's Guggenheim is now holding a retrospective of the comic-strip-inspired works of Roy Lichtenstein, and the saggy, baggy sculptures of Claes Oldenburg are on display at the Museum of Modern Art. The Whitney Museum, not to be outdone, will exhibit another major Pop artist, Jim Dine...

...terms of the overall respect in which Kennedy is held, the poll indicated no radical shift as a result of Chappaquiddick: 63% said that they held him in the same degree of esteem now as before; 5% said that they had more respect; 28%, less respect. Trial heats now in anticipation of 1972 would be meaningless in ordinary circumstances, but in this case they give an indication of Kennedy's before-and-after standing. In a new three-way match with Richard Nixon and George Wallace, Kennedy received 38%, Nixon 48%, Wallace 8%. A Harris survey in late...
