...that Morrison "has just been defeated for Governor so he's got a lot of spare time now." When Lyndon Johnson accepted the vice-presidential nomination, Brinkley suggested that the slogan "All the way with L.B.J." should now read "Half the way with L.B.J." Cooped up in a loft. by 12-ft. glassed-in booth that looked as cramped as the cabin of a spaceship, Huntley and Brinkley muffled all organ tones, were obviously so complementary a pair-Brinkley the aperitif, Huntley the cordial-that neither could have done so well alone. They relaxed and let history write itself...

With a younger player watching, Harrison will occasionally choose the wrong iron for a shot, choke upon the grip, curb his swing and loft the ball to the green.

In Stuttgart a jovial German musician learned where they were from and greeted them...

But they had no regrets as they closed out their tour last week. Said Second Violinist Loft: "We played Ravel in France, Beethoven in Germany, Holmboe in Copenhagen, and everywhere threw in some American modern. We went into the lion's den and came out unscathed.
