...Ike's executive order has led to what Florence calls a "mass of weird confusion" in the Defense Department. The department, for example, refused to make public the list of military installations where liquor is sold to servicemen by the bottle. The Army once classified as a military secret a modern adaptation of the bow and arrow. The Air Force stamped secret on pictures of the interiors of transport planes that had been remodeled with plush lounges for the comfort of traveling brass. The Navy put a secrecy stamp on a report of attacks by sharks on seamen, even...
...Fellow Musicians Carole King and Danny Kootch. Atlanta Correspondent Peter Range journeyed to Chapel Hill, N.C., to visit with Mother Trudy Taylor about everything from her son James' tree-climbing habits to her daughter Kate's budding career.

James Taylor managed to grow up in two of the most beautiful places in America. Boyhood winters were spent in a specially designed eleven-room house on 28 acres of North Carolina woodland and pasture near Chapel Hill.

In those days, too, Dr. Taylor led in singing sea chanteys and folk songs at cookouts on the beach. At 15, James, along with Danny Kootch, won a hootenanny contest, singing and accompanying themselves with harmonica and guitar. In their early teens, Livingston and James used to turn...
...IKE many vacation-bound Americans, Richard Nixon had ambitious reading plans during his three-day rest in the Virgin Islands last week. He took along three books, each of them "dull," he said. It is not known how much reading he got done in all that sunshine, but one selection, Robert Blake's biography of Benjamin Disraeli,* was especially apt. The great Tory, who 100 years ago led his country into a memorable period of progressive reform, once wrote: "All power is a trust . . . we are accountable for its exercise; from the people, and for the people, all springs...
