...member of the go-go generation of the space age, it is not difficult to see why the Kennedys are more popular than Johnson. They have flair, charm, a witty intensity, dedication to their country, and, Bugs Bunny to the contrary, we would rather hear that rapid-fire New England accent than that twangy Texas drawl preaching at us.

He knows how to handle his machine-in contrast with the put-put crowd in the go-go set. The most serious accidents happen to these people, who are not sufficiently skilled and drive around without proper equipment...
...along as "masseurs" and "trainers," the Cuban delegation was the largest on hand by far. The athletes turned out to be a handsome, swinging group-the men in white suits and straw hats, the girls in shifts of red, white and blue (Cuba's national colors) and white go-go boots...
