...diminishing their activities. Since McCarthy's band of student volunteers first converged on New Hampshire's snowfields six months ago, a vociferous assault on the Johnson Administration has broadened, with the President's abdication, into an offensive against the traditional machinery of the Democratic Party. "Clean Gene's" partisans and many Robert Kennedy dissidents alike dismiss the entire process-the Old Politics-as tired and untrue. Last week, while McCarthy sunbathed on a Minnesota lake, his volunteers, left idle since the end of the primary campaigns, geared up their own New Politics machine...
Androcles (Gene Troobnick) and his wife Megaera (Jan Miner) enter and prove well cast indeed. Miss Miner's role is a short one, but she is properly attractive, ample, and shrewish. Curly headed Troobnick, imported by the Festival just for this role, fits to perfection Shaw's prescription of "a small, thin, ridiculous little man."

The extraction of the thorn from the Lion...
...TEMPTATIONS: WISH IT WOULD RAIN (Gordy). The five boys from Motown display a studied sophistication that might be called "hybrid Soul."

Besides, the cover photograph depicting The Temptations as utterly defeated Foreign Legionnaires has to be the funniest of the year...
...JOHNSON-MCCARTHY. Possibly the wildest combination of all is being predicted by some of Washington's more recondite theorists. The speculation is that realistic prospects of peace would persuade the President to run again, with a reconciled Gene McCarthy at his side...
Well, by 8:15, the Wallace Girls were pretty busy. The hall was filling rapidly, though it was apparent that only about 2/3 of the 3500 people were Wallace partisans. A large sprinkling of "I make noise, therefore, I exist" liberals were in the ballroom discussing George's crimes, Gene's virtues, and the disarming simplicity of the rubes who had come to hear...
