...similar thought struck New York's art-and fun-loving Parks Commissioner Thomas Hoving, who takes up his new job as head of the Metropolitan Museum of Art next April.* Last week, at Hoving's request, the threadbare lawn of Manhattan's small Bryant Park behind the Public Library blossomed forth with a temporary display of eight large-scale (10 ft. to 16 ft. high) examples of Smith's stark black architectonic art. It is not the artist's first case of double exposure. Last December, he was given simultaneous one-man exhibitions-indoors...
...assembled a galaxy of such Administration stars as Health, Education and Welfare Secretary John Gardner, Budget Director Charles Schultze, Defense Secretary Robert McNamara and Acting Attorney General Ramsey Clark. He threw a big barbecue luncheon on the lawn. He set up a full-scale press conference and, with typical attention to statistics, reeled off a count of all the times that he has been in touch with Governors since he became President-400 personal talks, 200 phone calls...

It is full of odd nuggets of information, from the fact that ladies of the Middle Ages often bathed nude before guests in their gardens to the date of the first modern lawn mower: 1830. Fine reading for soil-sports...
...American Motors Rambler to Rocky's cottage for a buffet lunch. By the time the meal was over, the two Governors had achieved a consensus, so to speak, on consensus. "It was an apparent and not a real difference," Romney told reporters on the broad green lawn fronting the cottage. "Personally, I would not have chosen the word consensus.* I was just a little allergic to the previous association of the word. But I agree the Governors should reach an agreement on programs." Pointedly, both Rocky and Romney expressed the belief that Ronald Reagan would agree to agree. Rocky...
