...Labor Secretary Willard Wirtz's son Richard, 27, and Fiancee Margaret Ann Hickman. Before the week was out, Bob Humphrey, a senior at Minnesota's Mankato State College, and Donna, a former Miss Hastings, Minn., proceeded to the next step. Amid pealing bells and the fond smiles of 675 guests, the couple were wed at St. Olaf's Roman Catholic Church in Minneapolis. Neither Uncle L.B.J. nor Auntie L.B.J. could make it, but they sent their best wishes and a nice wedding present...

Detroit's resistance derives largely from the fact that nylon tires tend to make a thumping noise for the first few blocks or miles of a ride-and auto dealers can have a difficult time convincing customers that the thump comes...
...long ago, Washington used to offer simple, straightforward directions to any state or city that received federal aid. The directions went something like this: "Take as directed. Do not shake. Do not stir. Swallow hard." The states were not very fond of the directions, but they wanted the funds that came with them-and they swallowed their objections. Now something new and interesting is happening to the often strained relations between the Federal Government and the nation's states and cities. To a degree that few people could have anticipated only a short time ago, Washington is actively seeking...
