Somehow, readers of the British story and of the few U.S. papers carrying it ignored Lennon's foray into theology; but last week, after the quote was reprinted in the U.S. teen magazine Datebook, all hellfire broke loose. Manager Tommy Charles of WAQY in Birmingham, Ala., forthwith banned the playing of any Beatle record on his radio station. KTEE, in Idaho Falls, Idaho, announced a similar policy "until Lennon retracts." KZEE, in Weatherford, Texas, damned their songs "eternally." By week's end, dozens of U.S. stations and others as far away as Spain and South Africa had joined...
...Javits is willing to risk all he has won for what he wryly refers to as "my vice-presidential foray." He makes no secret of coveting the nomination. "Hi, Mr. Vice President," cracked Missouri's Democratic Senator Stuart Symington when the two met aboard the Senate subway the other day. "Hi, yourself," Javits grinned, slightly embarrassed but mightily pleased. As an enthusiastic and frequent student of form at New York's Aqueduct Race Track, he knows that he belongs in the long-shot category. He also knows that handicapping politicians is, if possible, a less precise science than handicapping Thoroughbreds...
...Faced Solidarity. The whole episode was an interesting illustration of the new caution that pervades Soviet foreign policy these days.

That task fell last week to Party Boss...
...zeal, is known as "the Baggie king," after one of the products of his plastic-packaging firm. Defeated in the 1962 convention scramble, he has a pretty wife, eight attractive children,* and no reluctance to use them as political assets. Samuels stretched his announcement into a swinging two-day foray by chartered plane to Washington and six New York State cities, freely dispensing food, wine and happy-warrior predictions of victory. Inevitably, reporters christened his effort "the champagne campaign...
...Brien's anarchic foray against the foolishness of fact begins with a university student who is trying to write a realistic novel between courses at the National University. It is a glum, pompously polysyllabic work which gets out of hand because the main character is Dermot Trellis, described as "an eccentric author," a publican who has "conceived the project of writing a salutary book on the consequences that follow wrongdoing." Trellis' characters, in turn, include Fergus MacPhellimey, a "pooka," which is some sort of leprechaun, and John Furriskey, whose task it is to attack women and behave...
