Ludwig Erhard's maiden foray in his six-week election campaign began with an address in the nation's largest egg auction hall. There some 2,000 farmers and their families in the Saxon market town of Cloppenberg stood stolidly as the Chancellor launched into his basic campaign theme for 1965: the need to develop in West Germany a formierte Gesellschaft, meaning a well-ordered society, with equal restraint on government regimentation and private "stomach filling and greed." The Saxon farmers interrupted Erhard neither for catcalls nor clapping, but they chuckled each time he lit another Black Wisdom...
...graceful as she led Daughter Caroline's pony, Leprechaun, into the ring for the 4-H Stablemates' Horse Show in Cape Cod's West Barnstable. Last year Caroline won a sixth-place ribbon in the show, but she failed to place this time in a "maiden equitation" event, left the family victories to Bobby Kennedy's daughters Kathleen and Mary Courtney, who trotted off with three blue ribbons.

Restyled Ramblers have already lost their boxy lines and blossomed forth in hard-tops and convertibles, with bucket seats, floor-mounted gearshifts and even a big, 8-cylinder engine that is definitely not economical. The fastback Marlin, introduced last March, is as sporty a car as Detroit manufactures today...
...will not be a Boston Booster. The maiden aunt of American cities may well have discovered a fountain of youth, but rejuvenation has not made her more attractive. It is not so much the appearance of the New Boston that grates as its spirit. The planners seem more intent on building an "All-American City" than in living up to John Winthrop's hope of creating a "City on a Hill...
