Johnson also tried to downplay the tasteless wrangle he has been having with Michigan Governor George Romney over the introduction of federal troops in Detroit. Romney last week accused Johnson of having "played politics in a period of tragedy and despair." The President at first let Attorney General Ramsey Clark deny the charge, but later, Johnson himself explained the intricacies of ordering federal troops into a local situation. Romney seemed to come out ahead. Opinion samplings by the market research firm of Sindlinger & Co. indicated that Romney's popularity in Michigan exceeded Johnson's after the riot. Nationwide...
...most immoderate. One such scheme is A. Philip Randolph's "Freedom Budget," originally proposed two years ago. It would wipe out the ghettos, provide a guaranteed annual income, increase spending on education, housing, vocational training and health services. The price tag: $185 billion over a ten-year period...
Chicago reports that of the 108,628 slugs pumped into its 30,000 parking meters last month, 74,524 were flip-top rings. Some 4,000 San Francisco meters were jammed by rings in the same period, and in New York, the traffic department is collecting about 20,000 rings a month. Elmer Ploof, in charge of parking-meter collections for Detroit, has stored in the city treasurer's safe two overflowing bushel baskets of rings taken from meters-out of sight perhaps, but not out of mind...

The words admit three groups of interpretation, depending on whether they are regarded as being followed by a question mark, an exclamation point, or a period. Mrs. Siddons, history's most admired Lady Macbeth, tried all three and unwisely settled on the last. Miss Nye says, "We [pause] fail! [longer pause]/But screw your courage to the sticking-place,/And we'll not fail." Lady Macbeth is a better psychologist than this. She would...
...designed by Rouben Ter-Arutunian--two converging cavernous walls of shiny but unsmooth silver, parts of which can swing in; and, hovering overhead, a structure suggestive of some enormous gray mythic bat, through whose wings lights sometimes filter. Ter-Arutunian also designed the costumes, which belong to no one period. For the most part they are of gray and black, though Macbeth and his wife are symbolically garbed in blood-red on their first entrance as king and queen. There is rather too much of John Duffy's dissonant and ominous background music, for which Houseman's Hollywood career...
