Wrong Pocket. In case anyone was concerned about his health, Johnson dug into a pocket for the report of a physical examination he had undergone after his nine-lap hike earlier in the week. Wrong pocket. "Whoops, that's the latest Gallup poll," he said. He dug deeper, came up with some figures from Pollster Elmo Roper showing that he was favored by 68% of U.S. women, 70% of those aged 21 to 34, 73% of the Catholics, 86% of the Negroes, 97% of the Jews. Finally he produced the medical report, signed by four physicians. "His exercise tolerance...
India generally is a far cry from the heady days of 1962 when, to repel the Red Chinese attack in the Himalayas, the nation seemed united and resolute. Indians swarmed to enlist, pledged their hoarded gold to the government, and willingly accepted a hike of income taxes by as much as 450% . Since then the course has been downhill. Nehru's illness and death were followed by the accession of tiny, introspective Lai Bahadur Shastri as Prime Minister.

It argues that productivity in the auto industry is increasing by 4.9% annually and that its workers deserve nothing less than a 4.9% wage hike. The industry's offer amounts to about 3.5%, higher than the 3.2% guideline laid down by the Administration to stave off inflationary wage raises. Walter Reuther does not care much for guidelines, snapped that "no economics professor is going to write our contract." The final settlement will be somewhere...
...through the cities celebrating their freedom. Stockholm's pimply raggare, teenage rowdies who drive battered U.S. cars, roar up the Kungs-gatan, stop to pick up a nymphet, then roar off again. Mothers and children troop off to cottages beside gleaming lakes and fjords to sail, swim and hike until fall. Except that they usually adjourn to summer palaces, Scandinavia's royal princes and princesses follow much the same routine. This summer has been different-but then, it's not every year that royal families get to marry off three daughters...
