...experience in 1964 makes Goldwater an expert on the political impact of the civil rights issue. Thus he was bearish about Romney's chances of disentangling himself in the public's mind from the Mormon doctrine on Negroes. "They can kill you," Goldwater said, "even though your civil rights record, like Romney's, is a good one." The only hope the Arizonan sees for any Republican in 1968 is if "Johnson fails in Viet Nam." Unlike Romney, however, Goldwater's view is that the war "actually seems to be going better now." Indeed, Barry has never...
...enough lawyers, linguists and wine merchants are on hand to keep the case going well into March, bring court costs alone to around $280,000. Before long, the judges may well be ready to settle the when-is-sherry-sherry question on the expert and well-aged testimony of Falstaff, who defined "a good Sherris-sack" as a brew that "ascends me into the brain, dries me there all the foolish and dull and crudy vapours which environ it; makes it apprehensive, quick, forgetive...

West Germany's unquestioned arbiter of social grace, the Expert Committee for Good Manners (a branch of the German Dancing Teachers League), has joined the anti-handshaking campaign. The committee recommends that Germans keep a tight grasp on themselves rather than on each other. Says its report: "Exaggerated handshaking is unappreciated, and in fact often makes personal contact more difficult...
...outdoorsman's hunting ground it may be, but L. L. Bean, Inc. is also an efficiency expert's nightmare. It stashes incoming mail in shirt boxes. Once it lost $125,000 in business when a list of 40,000 would-be customers was mistakenly destroyed. Under a garish, multicolored letterhead, its owner once answered a formal appointment request by advising "I am personally away more or less." When he died of a heart ailment during a Florida vacation last week at 94, L. L. (for Leon Leonwood) Bean left a $4,000,000-a-year backwoods bonanza that...
