Clan Within. When the showdown came, the Kennedy clan was on hand in force. Watching from the Senate gallery were Teddy's wife, Joan, in a pink frock; Sister Eunice Shriver; and Bobby's wife, Ethel. Temporarily presiding over the session was Bobby himself. Taking the floor against the amendment, Dirksen asked: "If Congress can tell the states by statute this afternoon that they cannot impose a poll tax, why not tell them they cannot impose a cigarette tax or any other tax?" Democratic Leader Mansfield worried that the amendment might endanger the entire voting-rights bill...
When his family moved into Johnson City (pop. then 350), Lyndon attended the two-story pink limestone school-biggest building in town. Five teachers taught grades one through eleven, carrying two or three grades each. Lyndon helped sweep the floor and stoke the potbellied wood stove. His favorite subjects, largely because of the able teacher, Superintendent Scott Klett, were civics and history. "I didn't like math or science much," says Johnson...
...Between 1956 and 1963 overweight Americans spent $16 million to buy 4,000,000 boxes of pink, green and yellow Regimen tablets, convinced by a massive advertising campaign that the tablets could help them lose as much as 28 pounds in 28 days without dieting.

Masked soldiers rush each other with pink sausages for swords, dashing about like a Polish division of the Keystone Cops. Andrew Weil as Pere Ubu, the fat man who usurps the Polish throne, leads the whole menagerie. He bellows like a bull, whines like a hyena and eats like a pig. Mere Ubu (Virginia Morrs) comes on with a Bela Lugosi accent, smelling roses, swearing at her husband and slaying...
...pills now approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for marketing by Mead Johnson & Co. rely on the Albright proposal. Called "sequential therapy," the new system uses 21 pills neatly stacked in a tube-16 white on top and five pink at the bottom. Working down the tube, a woman takes the first white pill (an estrogen) five days after beginning menstruation, and carries on with the white pills on a one-a-day schedule until they are finished. Then she takes the pink pills (a progestin) daily for five days. By thus imitating nature, say Mead Johnson...
