...past 20 years, government dams and flood-control projects have created scores of man-made lakes that dot Texas' parched and sweltering flatlands (there are only about half a dozen natural lakes in Texas). Because of Texas' excellent, uncrowded highways, distance is no object. One industrialist trailed his cabin cruiser behind his car on a 1,000-mile business trip so that he could get in a day's fishing on the Gulf; Abilene sailors think nothing of trundling their Snipes 180 miles to a regatta in Dallas. Asked to explain his booming sales, a boat dealer...
Confided the voice on the phone to Attorney General Robert Kennedy: Bernard Goldfine has some things he wants to talk about. On that word from a go-between for Goldfine, Kennedy sent an aide flying to Boston to hear out the ailing, aged (70) industrialist. Since then, Goldfine has made at least one trip to the Justice Department.

As for Brazil's free-swinging Jânío Quadros, U.S. businessmen have concluded from his performance so far that he promises to be as conservative in economics as he is radical in politics and diplomacy...
...rally of the Young Americans for Freedom, a group of college conservatives with a membership of 21,000, scattered over 115 campuses. Awards for activity in the conservative cause were handed out to an array of conservative celebrities, ranging from Editor William F. Buckley Jr. (National Review) to Wisconsin Industrialist Herbert Kohler (of Kohler). When a speaker mentioned Herbert Hoover's name, the audience roared; Ike's name got polite applause mixed with boos; Harry Truman, silence. But the lion of the evening-as he invariably is whenever conservatives gather-was Arizona's handsome, articulate junior Senator...
