...past year has left its imprint on the features and the temperament of the President. The crevices in cheeks and brow are more deeply graven; his hair is markedly greyer. Johnson's demeanor-in public, at least-has become noticeably more restrained, more responsive to the image of his office. Yet, an erect 6 ft. 3 in., he still exudes irrepressibly the hill-countryman's crackling vitality; his pace is still hell-for-leather, his self-confidence as massive as ever. When asked by an aide how he felt about the job last week, Lyndon replied buoyantly...
...last of the Last Resorts is slightly older (it was founded 110 years ago) and much, much greyer than La Rand, but the stripper and the seaside town both exude a garish, garter-snapping exuberance that has largely disappeared from affluent America. The boardwalk - and for most visitors the boardwalk is Atlantic City - is an unbelievable anachronism, a eupeptic blend of pre-war Coney Island and a Victorian mu sic hall, where vulgarity, dodgem-car din, sentimentality and pushy camara derie reign uninhibited and unabashed...

"I was painting still lifes that were getting greyer and greyer," he recalls, still amazed at the helplessness he felt. The tonic he needed was the famous course given at Yale by Josef Albers, who has spent decades demonstrating what marvels colors can perform when left entirely on their own. As can be seen in seven Anuszkiewicz' paintings on display in Manhattan's Museum of Modern Art (including those on the opposite page), the tonic worked...
...Looking greyer and more gravelly than ever, Frank Costello, 71, learned that the U.S. has every intention of giving him the boot-right back to his native Cosenza on Italy's instep. The gangland chieftain was stripped of his citizenship in 1959 after a U.S. district judge ruled that the onetime rumrunner and kewpie-doll salesman had been naturalized fraudulently in 1925. Now the U.S. Court of Appeals in Manhattan has turned down his attempt to upset a deportation order. Rasped Costello: "Italy is O.K. to visit but not to live in too long...
