Franks & a Pint. Gary enjoyed no such amity. The city of 178,000 on Lake Michigan has two major industries, steel and Democratic politics, whose byproducts are wide-open vice and only slightly less tangible corruption. The population is mostly blue-collar. The majority of whites remain close in custom and outlook to their foreign origins and suspicious of the Negroes, who make up 55% of the population; many of them have arrived from the South since World War II. The city boasts 54 foreign-language groups, and in the 1964 presidential primary, the white vote went overwhelmingly to George...
Many Gary Negroes had traditionally cooperated with the organization, which responded with the philosophy of "Give 'em some franks and a pint of whisky" in exchange for votes. Hatcher was all too clearly a different sort. But even after the primary, as he tells it, Lake County Democratic Chairman John Krupa came to Hatcher with the ritualistic demand that he pledge subservience to the machine and allow it to name his police chief, controller and fire chief after election.

...their drive, Butcher and Seabrook operate in relaxed fashion, Butcher from his ground-floor brokerage desk, Seabrook from a pint-size office eight floors above. Butcher still swims daily in his suburban pool, plays tennis regularly. Seabrook, a model-railroad buff, raises horses and collects antique carriages (he has two dozen) at his 4,200 acre farm in Salem, N.J. He and his wife, former United Press Correspondent Liz Toomey (whom he met at Grace Kelly's wedding to Monaco's Prince Rainier), often slip into 18th century costume for champagne-sipping country outings amid the asparagus...
Chop & Smash. The Cam Pha raid, and raids on five other previously forbidden places in recent weeks, reduced the number of untouched targets in North Viet Nam to a mere 46. Most of those 46 are too insignificant (small factories, pint-sized petroleum dumps) to warrant the risk of U.S. lives; other potential targets, such as factories in downtown areas, are ruled out on humanitarian grounds. Of the major targets not yet hit, many will probably be bombed in time. The most likely remaining targets: the power station and railyards at Lao Cai, an important supply link with China; three...
...filmjolk in Sweden. Bulgarians have always had the reputation of being the world's greatest yogurt eaters but, thanks to the energies of a Paris company called Societe Danone, the French, of all people, are taking over the championship. Last year they consumed more than 1.8 billion quarter-pint pots (238 million quarts) of the stuff, and they will get down well over 2 billion potfuls...
