...strong G.O.P. showing resulted from a strictly partisan contest. Tiernan, 38, and DiPrete, 39, are similar down to the horn-rimmed glasses they both wear. Both are Roman Catholics, lawyers, fathers of three-and uninspiring campaigners. There was little to distinguish their views on most issues. Neither announced a stand on Viet Nam until an independent "peace" candidate, Unitarian Universalist Minister Albert Perry, forced them into a choice (Perry got 2.7% of the vote). Tiernan came out in full support of the Johnson Administration. DiPrete at first favored a suspension of U.S. bombing of North Viet Nam, then-realizing that...
Practically all of Fleet Street rushed to Punta Arenas, Chile, the world's southernmost city. Sir Francis Chichester, 65, the intrepid, unwavering yachtsman, was approaching Cape Horn-one of the most hazardous passages of his solo trip around the world in the 50-ft. ketch Gipsy Moth IV. Some 30 newsmen were on hand, most with little knowledge about exactly where Sir Francis was and less about how to find him. They set up a pool arrangement under which a few reporters and photographers would be put aboard a British frigate to pursue Gipsy Moth...

The strings handled their part with a minimum of painful intonation and a good deal of taste.

...nerve to print such an untrue arctile; an apoligy is a necessary thing, because the Monkees are 100 times greater than the Beatles. If anyone put you through a Xerox machine, they'd come up with a blob of nothing, a wind bag, and a loud-horn. If you don't like this, lump it, or we'll put you on the Last Train to Clarksville and haunt you with I'm a Believer...
...superpatriotism in the Age of Lyndon Johnson to the paucity of privacy in the Moment of William Manchester. His articles appear in magazines ranging from the Ladies' Home Journal to TV Guide, and his features flicker on the tube from Today to Tonight, expressing, all in one, the horn-rimmed wisdom of the scholar, the sophistication of balding middle age-and the omniscient satisfaction of the eternal Quiz Kid. By this time, in short, the average American would be less than average unless he knew all about Arthur Schlesinger...
