...fair, like the Carlsbad Caverns, the Little Bighorn battle site and the Newfane (Vt.) Inn, is worth a visit if you happen to be in the neighborhood. The locals who live within easy distance of Flushing Meadow by subway, train or highway keep going back there and to date have actually outnumbered tourists at the turnstiles. In any case, it takes at least several trips to sample the top attractions. Some of them are even worth the long wait in line...
...question is partially answered by this slim, elegant volume that has been assembled by Nipponologist Oliver Statler, author of Japanese Inn (but no kin to the U.S. innkeeping clan). Half of the book, and its heart, consists of 40 color plates taken from two Japanese scrolls of the time. Such scrolls, which unrolled horizontally up to 40 ft., served as the picture books and newsreels of feudal Japan. To document Perry's arrival, and satisfy their feudal masters' incorrigible curiosity, Japanese artists swarmed aboard Perry's six black ships, sketching virtually everything in sight with swift brush...

Goldwater backers burst into wild applause, followed quickly with a roll call that produced 48 diamond-hard convention votes for Barry; the other ten delegates remained publicly committed to no one, but there was every possibility that Goldwater would wind up with at least...
Thus Dirksen's starring role in last week's drama at the O'Hare Inn was written a week before the Illinois delegation actually met. To add to the irony, that meeting-which turned out so badly for Bill Scranton-was originally set up by Scranton himself. From the moment he became an avowed candidate on June 12, he knew he would have to make some spectacular inroads into what had been counted as a big Goldwater delegation. Illinois seemed to be the most likely possibility...
Beyond Duty. Proving that his devotion to party extends far beyond any sense of mere duty, Johnson sat through the show again two nights later with 16,000 Democrats in Manhattan's Madison Square Garden. He also attended $1,000-a-plate dinners at Washington's International Inn and Manhattan's New York Hilton, a $100-a-plate dinner in Manhattan's Americana Hotel. The five affairs stuffed the party's 1964 campaign wallet with some $2.5 million...
