More significant, Romney has managed to disengage himself from the Administration at a time when popular support both for Johnson and the war are at alltime lows and when many Republicans have begun to have second thoughts about Viet Nam.

Leading & Expanding. Picking up the idea, the Chicago-based firm of Motorola, Inc. last December introduced its Community Radio Watch and watched it take the lead; C.R.W. now claims a roster of a quarter of a million employee "agents" who work for some 20,000 business organizations in more than 300 cities.

Traveling around the premises in an electric golf cart was President Joseph M. Katz, 54. Shouting to make himself heard above the roar of the presses, through which rolled 600 miles of paper daily, Katz exulted: "You can't eliminate Santa Claus...
...press agents were busy turning sporadic yells into the firm, rythmic roar you hear in propaganda films. Wherever there was a television camera, the press agents urged the girls to "scream now" and paid the lucky ones 25 dollars to faint on cue. When the Beatles finally arrived at the Plaza, the crowd charged and nearly killed the chauffeur and two doormen. The PR men sighed with relief.
