Many viewers presumably tune in not for the comedy but for the country-and-Western songs that fill up nearly one-third of Hee Haw's air time. There are top-name guests, and the hosts themselves are no slouches. Roy Clark-the one who looks like a heftier Sander Van-ocur-was twice the national banjo champion. Guitarist-Composer Buck Owens-the cross between Andy Griffith and George Segal-is a leading country recording artist...
...Eyed Wurlitzer. François Dallegret's La Machine is a far heftier entree. A Frenchman, now designing for Montreal's Expo 67, Dallegret has designed a device that looks like a giant metal steeplechase hurdle, weighs half a ton, and is priced at $27,000. It consists of two slender beams of anodized aluminum, 30 ft. long by 2 ft. high, braced between uprights. A cool piece of pure structure, the object has all the contemplative imagery of an I beam, but it has an inner electronic life. The narrow six-inch gap between the aluminum beams...
...nonobstreperous relief, the President conferred at week's end with a bipartisan delegation of 38 state Governors. In exuberant vein, Johnson hymned his concept of "creative federalism," pointing out, not exactly in passing, that his Administration is giving ever-heftier federal aid to the states. The session ended with a unanimous resolution by the Governors attesting that they "wholeheartedly support and endorse" U.S. policy in Viet Nam. The resolution was proposed by Ohio's Republican Governor James Rhodes and seconded by New York's Republican Governor Nelson Rockefeller...
...President of the U.S. looked rested-maybe a little bit heftier around the middle, but with far smaller bags beneath his eyes. He went out of his way to be solicitous of his staff. He was, quite frankly, resentful of reports (TIME, Nov. 20) that many staffers wanted out from under the pressures that he put upon them. He noted that Aide Jack Valenti, who he once said "gets up with me every morning," now does not arrive at the White House until nearly 9 a.m. He let it be known that his staffers could attend a State Department farewell...
...another that held promise of destroying tradition as well as records. Steel re-exerted its role as a bellwether of the economy, hitting its highest output level (109 million tons) in six years. The number of Americans holding down jobs swelled to 70 million, and the average paycheck was heftier than ever before. All this added up to a gross national product of $584 billion-a very respectable $29 billion more than last year. As 1963 ended, the U.S. economy was in the 34th month of recovery, and only a few months away from producing the longest sustained peacetime recovery...
