...Wesselmann silk-screened the image of a nude onto plastic, then shaped it to capture its contours as well. Britain's Eduardo Paolozzi used eleven colors for Wittgenstein in New York, incorporated such city elements as jets, skyscrapers, and the man from a Bufferin ad to tick off hectic modern life. Roy Lichtenstein printed his Moonscape on metallic plastic that shimmers like aluminum foil. Claes Oldenburg made a serigraph print and attached a rust-colored felt...
After two days of hectic debate, the T.U.C. gave Wilson the best he could reasonably expect: reluctant acquiescence to his wage-price freeze. But the narrowness of his victory was disturbing: with nearly 9,000,000 proxy ballots cast, he scraped through with a margin of only...

They were at a loss to account for it all until last week, when it came out that Writer Jim Bishop, 58, had chosen that period to poke around the White House gathering material for another of his Day books-this one A Day in the Life of President Johnson. The President put in a beautiful day. "He's a heckuva man," marveled Bishop. And, more to the point, "a heckuva...
