...Duncan-Coleman medley from Gershwin's Porgy and Bess got rousing cheers, despite complaints next day from critics over the absence of works by living American composers. There were plenty of living celebrities at the reception that followed: Marian Anderson, Samuel Barber, Aaron Copland, Paul Horgan, Peter Kurd, Jasper Johns, Erich Leinsdorf, Robert Lowell, Gian Carlo Menotti, Anna Moffo, Mark Rothko, W. D. Snodgrass, Edward Steichen, Richard Wilbur, Herman Wouk and Minoru Yamasaki...

North of Alamogordo and east of Tularosa, south of Hondo and only six miles crow flight from an Apache reservation-in the dusty desolation of New Mexico-Artist Peter Kurd works in a perpetual state of wonderment...
...painting of the President for this cover is a first for TIME in that it was done in collaboration by two artists: Peter Kurd, who has painted a number of covers for us, and his wife, Henriette Wyeth Hurd, whose portrait of her brother, famed Artist Andrew Wyeth, was our Christmas cover in 1963.

President Johnson likes to think of it as a view of his own west-central Texas hill country, although it is a scene from Kurd's New Mexico...
Both Wyeth and Hurd have themselves painted covers for TIME: Wyeth did President Eisenhower in 1959; Kurd's most recent was Barry Goldwater in 1961. Now a third member of the family joins our roster of cover artists. This week's cover is the work of Mrs. Hurd and is the seventh portrait she has done of her brother. She painted him in the granary at his home in Chadds Ford, Pa., as he stared through the windows at the familiar bare trees outside. "I wanted him looking at that severe landscape," she says...
