...press troubles have burgeoned until they have become a major news story in themselves. Gone is much of the easy informality of the early days of his Administration when Johnson met and joshed with reporters, invited them and their families to a picnic on the White House lawn.

Many communities are so sold on their performance that they levy fines on any motorist who gets stuck in snow, blocks traffic, and is found to have no snow tires-or tire chains, which the success of the snow tires is making largely obsolete...
