...question-and-answer show filmed in Washington and telecast in Madison, Proxmire attacked Johnson and much that is sacred to him: 1) the control of Congress by the two Texans, Johnson and House Speaker Sam Rayburn (''When you get these two men together with the power of making committee assignments, you see the obsequious bowing, scraping Senators and Congressmen around them"); 2) the oil depletion allowance ("a terrific tax handout and giveaway"); 3) Johnson's talents for civil rights compromise ("Effective civil rights legislation is impossible").

Last week the magazine was absorbed (estimated price: $150,000) and closed out by Vision, Inc., a closemouthed Madison Avenue publishing house that operates a grab-bag set of properties...
...prize he wins after proposing to her and being accepted. New York pleases him because he can be irresponsible and keep two identities. He really works for a trade magazine with offices on Madison Avenue, but he convinces his fiancee's respectable family that he is on a supersecret Government mission. Still, he is forced to admit to himself that his double life is vapid: "Nothing is wrong with my days, but they are pallid and dull me ... I am not undernourished...
