...Prayers to Allah. At the airport, Johnson was pale and apprehensive. But as Bashir materialized like a genie in the plane's door, he soon let his host know that there was nothing to dread. Wearing a jaunty karakul cap, a trimly tailored frock coat and a 500-watt smile, the camel driver accepted the onslaught of press and public with the nonchalance of a Mogul prince. Nervously, Johnson apologized for the chilly weather. Replied Bashir: "It is not the cold; it is the warmth of the people's hearts that matters." In response to L.B.J...
...White House some antique wallpaper-still available new in France-for which salvage rights had cost only $50. "Some people like old broken things because they are old and broken down; maybe Mrs. Kennedy is one of them." The supposition produced the first crack in the pale porcelain exterior of Pamela Turnure, 23, the First Lady's decorative press secretary. The remarks, said she, are "undignified and highly inappropriate." Retreated Glaser under the ire of the White House's youngest staffer: "Hours of painstaking care must be taken to remove antique paper from old plaster walls...Anyone willing...
...fellow as anyone would want to meet-until, upon arising to speak, he became the "Prince of Fire-Eaters" who had made it his life's work to lead the South from the Union.

...great swirls of red, white and blue bunting, which he called Birth of the Flag. Only three years later, William Morris Hunt turned out his Bathers, a simple, naturalistic scene showing a young boy poised to dive off the shoulders of another. George Fuller of Deerfield, Mass. painted a pale Arethusa that might have been a model for the white-robed girl in the old White Rock ads. Yet Fuller's younger contemporary, Louis Eilshemius, a sad-eyed man who called himself "Supreme Spirit of the Spheres," could produce an enormously imaginative Afternoon Wind composed of wispy figures being...
...American girls-one pink (Woodward), one beige (Carroll)-take a two-week holiday in Paris, where they meet two American boys-one pale (Newman), one brown (Poitier)-in an integrated cave where the boys play sliphorn and piano. At first Newman makes a pass at Carroll, but the kids are quickly segregated, and soon they are in love. For Newman, love is short but art is long; he sends Woodward home and stays in Paris to study music. For Poitier, love is a ticket back to the U.S.; he decides to marry Carroll and join her crusade for racial equality...
