Wrong Brownsville. One outside possibility is Tom Johnson, 25. No kin, young Johnson is a quick-minded Georgia newsman whose youth stirs in L.B.J. the kind of paternal pride and protectiveness that he sometimes displayed toward Moyers (and, in a better-forgotten era, toward Bobby Baker). An assistant press secretary, Johnson theoretically ranks below both Press Secretary George Christian, 39, and Deputy Secretary Robert H. Fleming, 55. But in some ways he has grown closer to the President than either. Since December, young Johnson has conducted some major briefings while his nominal superior hovered in the background. Moreover, L.B.J...
...they were his constituents. Whether holding forth at his favorite hangout, Brown's Hotel bar in the tumbledown gingerbread village of Alice Town-where he sips Beck's beer and "cowbells" (Cutty Sark and milk)-or slapping backs on the street, Powell calls the Biminians "my kin" and "soul brother." At week's end, he prepared reluctantly to leave them and face his troubles back home...
...England, that presents some problems. Though the earl can be divorced like any ordinary Briton, remarriage is another matter. Harewood comes under the Royal Marriages Act of 1772, which was rammed through Parliament by George III in an effort to stop his kin from keeping house with commoners.

...last year of Ian Smith's white supremacist regime was complicated by one fact: most of Rhodesia's 220,000 whites are of British stock. Had it been otherwise, British Prime Minister Harold Wilson would not have been afraid to use British troops against "our kith and kin." Nor would Smith, whose father emigrated from Scotland, have felt it necessary to declare Rhodesia's "continued allegiance" to the Queen-and keep the Union Jack flying. But family ties can go only so far. Last week Smith suggested that the last thin thread to London would soon...
...Marx (no kin), who died this month at 69, was happy to say that Kiesinger was indeed a close and trusted friend. The paper that Marx founded in 1946 has been on intimate terms with top Bonn politicians since the establishment of the West German Republic. It wields an influence far beyond its 50,000 circulation, most of which goes to non-Jewish readers. The Jewish Weekly has not only served as the uncontested voice of Germany's diminished Jewish population of 30,000 (from a prewar 500,000), it has also played a major role in shaping German...
