The yippies (members of the Youth International Party) plan to nominate a 220-Ib. pig, Pigasus, for President, on a platform of garbage-"just like the platform of all the other parties." Groups led by the National Mobilization Committee to End the War in Viet Nam are altogether more serious. Says Coordinator Rennie Davis: "We want to focus attention...

But the magazine's cover carried the headline: JACKIE KENNEDY...

Harper, 58, maintains that his company's product has a "big economic advantage," since "it takes 2 Ibs. of copper to do what 1 Ib. of aluminum will...
