...John Mitchell's stiff upper lip, followers of the drama are now convinced that the end game has begun. In a phone call to U.P.I.'s Helen Thomas, Martha said that the former Attorney General had left their Manhattan apartment for a destination unknown to her. Winzola McLendon, a friend of Martha's who stayed with her after John's departure, revealed that the couple were communicating only through their lawyers. As for Martha's allegedly disturbed state of mind, the lady spoke for herself. Appearing on NBC in her first television interview...
...Just over a month ago, Texas Radio-TV Millionaire Gordon McLendon announced that "as partial payment for all the good things that have come my way in life," he would run for the Governor's office being vacated this year by John Connally. Abruptly last week the maverick Democrat appeared on 26 Texas television stations to withdraw his largesse.

Has anyone ever thought that we might buy records for other reasons than "dirty messages"? You can find these in any alley, and you do not have...

Young people are to be fed a diet of musical pap predigested by McLendon and his American Mothers' Committee; only a connoisseur of "serious" music may sample Bomarzo, the hero of which is "sexually ambivalent and frustrated, ghost-ridden, and obsessed with death." One shudders to consider the effects of Mr. McLendon's taste on works such as Tristan und Isolde (premarital sex), Salome (fetishism and degeneracy) and Wozzeck (sadism and murder). "English records that deal with sex, sin and drugs" are what make the best popular music true, if controversial art, precisely...
