...proposition on the November ballot for voter approval of Lindsay's new civilian-dominated police-review board, which has come under heavy attack by conservatives who consider it a crimp in police efficiency. Lindsay and Kennedy, together with New York's elder statesman, G.O.P. Senator Jacob Javits, have joined forces to support the board. It is the kind of impeccable cause that neither of the look-alike liberals can afford to pass...
Both candidates are relying heavily on outside help. Last week Teddy Kennedy and Hubert Humphrey stumped for Shapp. Richard Nixon and New York's Republican Senator Jacob Javits have spoken for Shafer, Scranton has scheduled 40 speeches, and Pennsylvania's Senator Hugh Scott has given him vigorous support. This week Bobby Kennedy will campaign for Shapp; Shafer will counter with Dwight Eisenhower, who will play host at Gettysburg to a reunion of Shafer's old PT boat squadron...

From Lady Bird Johnson and her guests, Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos and his wife, straight down the line through the Nelson Rockefellers, the Jacob Javitses, the Robert McNamaras, the Henry Fords, the John Drexels, the Alfred Vanderbilts, the William Fulbrights, the Kennedy brothers, and rafts of diplomats and fashion plates, the audience of 3,800 first-nighters provided a show-stopping spectacle of animated finery. The total weight in diamonds and emeralds alone could have sunk Cleopatra's barge, and the gold lame could...
...terribly emo tional about their instruments (which the manufacturers lend out for concert use in exchange for the prestige that the pianists bring). Glenn Gould always played Steinway's No. 174; when it collapsed some years back, he was thrown into a deep depression. Gary Graffman, Eugene Istomin, Jacob Lateiner and Leon Fleisher at one time all craved Old 199, and they passed it around among themselves so that each could have it for major concerts. Dame Myra Hess used to think of her pianos as so many husbands, once cabled Steinway...
