...expected to have considerable bearing on the 1968 nominating convention. Representing half the states, with well over half the population and convention delegates, the Governors, had they been united, could have virtually locked up next summer's nomination. But they fell far short of agreement on anything except that it was too early to unite behind...
Then, too, everyone-except Jim Garrison-could see the case closing in on the 6-ft. 6-in. district attorney. The press and TV continued to dismantle his imagined maze of Machiavellianism: secret codes that supposedly led to Ruby's telephone number, the elusive and probably fictional "Clay Bertrand," the Cuban intrigue. In New Orleans, where the ambitious D.A. is widely feared and conspiratorial theories are as highly relished as crayfish bisque, the Crime Commission demanded a sweeping state inquiry into Garrison's office...
Crazy Stop. Except for a few spiritual gurus and swamis, the hippie movement is leaderless and loose. The Beatles-forerunners of psychedelic sound and once again at the forefront with their latest album, Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band-are the major tastemakers in hippiedom. (Beatle Paul McCartney admits to taking acid trips.) Yet another guru, Indian Sitar Virtuoso Ravi Shankar, who now has a burgeoning music school in Los Angeles, is dead set against drug use as an enhancement to music. He recently lectured the Monterey Pop Festival audience, chiding them for being stoned while listening...
...there's one hitch. The doubling of Bottom and Oberon is quite possible--except for one critical scene well along in the play (IV, i), where Bottom, with his noggin transformed into an ass' head, and Oberon must both appear and speak on stage. We are told that Anthony of Padua, Philip Neri and other saints of eld were capable of bilocation. Are they now to be joined by Saint Cyril? The suspense is hardly bearable; and the answer turns out to be: yes, apparently. Bottom appears; yes, it's Ritchard's voice all right. Titaniz puts him to sleep...
...compromise bill would have frozen present districts, except where a special census was taken, until after the 1970 national census. After that, no state's largest and smallest districts could differ by more than 10 per cent. The proposed compromise plan was outrageously different from either the House or the Senate versions of the bill. The House voted for the 10 per cent requirement after the next census and imposed a 30 per cent limitation on district differences until then. The Senate had voted for an immediate 10 per cent limitation starting the next session of Congress...
