Equally encouraging to the President were the nice things being said about him by many of the same Democratic Governors who seemed ready to disown him only six months ago. Making a brief appearance at a meeting of 17 of the nation's 25 Democratic Governors a fortnight ago in St. Louis, Johnson heard assurances of party harmony and political support in '68. "What they said was music to my ears," he declared. Of the 17 Governors, only Georgia's Lester Maddox and Louisiana's John J. McKeithen declined to pledge their support for next year...
...York papers called it a real nice clambake, but it was more than that: a beautiful mornin', an enchanted evening and an endless stream of happy talk on the 65th birthday of Broadway Composer Richard Rodgers. NBC's Today show gave over its full two hours in the morning to a review of his life and work, and that night Mayor John Lindsay pinned the city's Handel Medallion on him during a reception at Gracie Mansion. In between came a luncheon attended by 90 of Rodgers' friends and well-wishers, including cast members from many...

The residence of College President Thomas ("Dr. Tom") Robinson, the house is as fetchingly old-fashioned inside as out, decorated with 19th century English prints and figured wallpaper. In the small, green-walled library set aside for the leaders' private conversation, the President and the Premier...
Wissotzky was not the only company that sensed the commercial significance of war and victory. Newspapers, as a result, have been crammed with advertising. Tel Aviv's biggest department store, in a nice bit of understatement at the beginning of the war, advertised sales of "current needs"-muslin cloth to prevent windowpanes from shattering, schoolchildren's identity disks and first-aid kits. For anyone whose automobile had been requisitioned by the army, Hertz Rent A Car had a solution: "Give us a call...
