...nearby Lake Martin, where they entertain friends and family aboard a Chinese junk. Robert Finch, who will be Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare in the new Cabinet, sometimes sports socks with holes the size of a half-dollar. He turned up recently at a dressy function in a green shirt that he had worn all day working around the house. Says a friend: "I think he puts on clothes just to keep from being arrested." The new Secretary of Transportation, Massachusetts' John Volpe, drinks "Volpe mead"-honey and hot orange juice-for breakfast, dyes his hair but insists...
...only two days before Johnson left the White House, the four delegations met in the French Foreign Ministry's International Conference Center, the old Hotel Majestic on the Avenue Kleber. They assembled around a new 151-foot diameter main table, built the day before and covered with green baize cloth by French carpenters under the supervision of officials from the Quai d'Orsay.

Peter Green on lead guitar plays an authoritative and firm role with his sinuous guitar lines, insistently and sympathetically guiding the group to put out the refined and fluid sound that is so typically Mayallian. The other presence is that of John MacVie (also ex-Bluesbreaker) who contributes a strong and uncluttered and incredibly well-felt blues-bass throughout. This kind of restrained and delicate watered-down imitation of the Chicago sound is a valid method...
