...FESTIVAL. "Carl Sandburg Remembered" includes eulogies by President Johnson and Poets Archibald MacLeish and Mark Van Doren and recordings by the late great poet himself...
...Black Questions for Whitey" [July 12]: Sociologist Dove, despite his color, is not as soul as he thinks he is. "C.C." may have stood for Country Circuit when the late Chuck Willis rendered his emasculated version of the famous blues, but Ma Rainey sang it as Easy [not C.C.] Rider Blues much earlier. Old blues singers applied the term easy rider to the guitar, which, because of its shoulder strap, "rode easy." Eventually, because of the instrument's feminine shape, easy rider came to mean a woman of easy virtue or a man who prospered by her entrepreneurial activities...
Humphrey's grippe was genuine, but so was the quandary that the mayor was hinting at. Like Richard Nixon, Humphrey is almost certain to win his party's nomination next month; yet rank-and-file reaction to his candidacy, never notably enthusiastic, has been increasingly indifferent of late, if not outright hostile.

He did not, however, understand the new problems caused by the postwar influx of Mexican-Americans and Negroes. For several years before his death in 1966, the once progressive department stagnated as the ailing chief's ideas congealed into dogma and he labored to surround...
Another major sign of how much life has changed is the outpouring of honors for Thomas Masaryk, the country's first President, and his son, the late Foreign Minister Jan Masaryk, who was probably murdered by the Communists. The very existence of both men was officially erased during the Novotnŷ period. Now, at the graves of the two patriots in the village of Lany, small green shrubs have been planted to form letters that spell the presidential motto, "Truth Prevails." Schools in Prague and Bratislava have been renamed after both men. And some mornings, as the train pulls...
