Oddly enough, some of the more proper Bostonians have bent over backward to try to help the flower children. Warned in advance of the invasion, Mayor Kevin H. White formed a committee of businessmen, clerics, resident hips, police and psychologists to resolve the hippies' hang...
...jolliest benefit of being really rich is that we can do little things in a big way like the Detroit race-track owner who gave sports cars as favors to a dozen dinner guests.

Moore and a band of reporters hatched up their revenge with something called a "Phooey-gram," a telegram sent directly to Maddox bearing nothing save the sender's name and one word-"Phooey." Already hundreds of Phooey-grams have been wired to the capitol, and Moore plans to kick...
