...Democrats are bringing their audience into sharper definition, and their prime target is the ever-growing group of relatively affluent and educated middle-class citizens. The party is well aware of its weakness here. In October, the Democratic National Committee conducted polls in California, Pennsylvania and New York and found Johnson running well ahead of all the major Republican prospects among voters earning less than $7,000 a year. Citizens in higher income brackets tended to favor the Republican candidates. But much of the middle class is considered to be uncommitted to either party, to swing from election to election...
Homer Wadsworth, president of a Kansas City, Mo., group of foundations, compares foundation operation to exploring for oil. "If we don't get any dry holes," he says, "it means we aren't exploring enough." A foundation executive recently heaped praise on John Gardner for his resourceful and enterprising conduct of the Department of Health, Education and Welfare, but then he went on to express the wish that Gardner had shown the same boldness in his previous job-head of the Carnegie Corporation...

Carrying Corn, a harvest scene of almost hallucinatory brightness, was painted out of doors by another Pre-Raphaelite, Ford Madox...
Rain, always lovers' weather onstage, drives Sylvia into Stan's Greenwich Village flat. She (Marian Seldes) is a bookkeeper who poses as an actress on the basis of her sessions at group-therapy psychodrama. He (Gene Troobnick) is a sportswear buyer who poses as a sculptor by coating tennis rackets, mannequin legs and xylophones with plaster of paris. It is not so much the chemistry of love that fuses the pair as the mutual palpitating fear that they may be cultural dropouts...
