Instructors in the seminars tend to mix impressive jargon -- Hersey/ Blanchard situational leadership, Ouchi's Theory Z -- with the homiest of explanations. Introducing the Premack Principle, Larry Baker says, "My mother used to state it functionally: 'Larry, when your room is clean, you may go out to play...
What he found was a relatively close-knit community, a "good block" with "good buildings" housing "good people." Yet the homiest of the five articles to run so far-long treatises on the comity of the postman and the everyday frustrations of shopping-fail to dispel the notion that New York neighborliness is little more than a tenuous alliance. In fact, Corry's best piece so far lists the precautions taken by residents of the "good block" to keep from being robbed, raped, beaten or killed: "George Bassat keeps a club next to his front door.

Most Woodstock painters seem to like picturing pleasant things in more or less understandable fashion. (Advance-guardists go elsewhere, chiefly to East Hampton...
...Homiest touch: the float bearing Elmer in the Grand Parade got lost. Said Publicityman Casey, watching Elmer & attendants muddle down a sidestreet: "I admit it's corny, but I love it." Paid admissions (191,196) were 7,595 under the first-day Whalen total. More important to Messrs. Gibson & Casey was what their guests would have to tell millions of other U. S. Elmers about the Forty Fair: ¶ Room rates average lower than at the 1939 opening. The Fair advertised: 80,000 hotel rooms at $1.50 to $3; 170,000 between $3 and $5; 200,000 more...
