...including a voluptuous Renoir Bather, and a darkly rich, superbly foreshortened Degas Girl on a Cushion. For any other collection, these 16 would be more than enough, but the adjoining dining room is fairly aglow with the Kreegers' most spectacular collection-within-a-collection. Eight mistily magnetic Monets offer a wide range of insights into the painter's gifts, from the crisp precision of an 1881 Varengeville to the moist verdure of a late (1906-16) Water Lilies...
Fast, Period. Customers who do hold off until next year can expect evolutionary, rather than revolutionary, changes. Following the pattern of Chrysler, first of the Big Three to display its 1969s (TIME, Aug. 30), Ford and G.M. will offer minor styling changes on most models, major restyling on only a few. At Ford, the major work has been done on the full-size cars, including the LTD, which will be wider and lower, boast such features as a "flight cockpit" instrument array, a short rear deck and the long hood that is fast becoming a Detroit cliche.

...week before Chicago, he had met for two hours in his Harbour Square apartment in Southwest Washington with Gene McCarthy. McCarthy agreed that his own chances for the nomination were slight, whereupon Humphrey asked if the second spot would appeal to him. "No," said McCarthy. "Don't offer it."

"Unfortunately," says Curator Robert Vogel, "the Smithsonian can offer nothing but sympathy. The mill has too many owners, and it would take an enormous amount of money to save it." Even old mill hands express little nostalgia at Amoskeag's passing. Mrs. Bertha Halde, 84, has fond memories of her girlhood days as a weaver of gingham, but she says of the destruction plan: "That's progress. The buildings are no good anyway, are they? They...
Coaches and players alike are careful not to make too much of preseason scores. Exhibition games are still a time of testing, tuning and pruning; they offer far from reliable samples of relative ability. Still, an improvement in the caliber of A.F.L. play has long been expected. And those A.F.L. victories can only breed confidence. Says San Diego's Alworth: "The N.F.L. teams did such a terrific job of selling the idea that they were so superior to us that we were scared to death of playing them. Now we are convinced that we are just as mean...
