...rock 'n' roll will do for the swim, the new twist on the twist involving free-style arm motions. Most teen-agers still do the swim and almost everything else to the music of the Beatles, but the three young Go-Go's make a good pitch for swimming to their slow-rolling nautical numbers like Peek-A-Boo Swimsuit and They Call Him Chicken...
Douglas and Boeing, the two big U.S.jetmakers, regard Latin America as one of the biggest potential markets anywhere. Both have sales teams touring Latin America making a hard pitch for their new DC-9 and 727 medium-to-short-range jets.

Gary made a strong pitch to Lyndon Johnson to pick Cohen, who was already a member of the five-man commission, as the new chairman, and Cohen was not hurt by his close friendship with White House Special Counsel Myer Feldman. Johnson was also under pressure to pick a careerist to soften criticism of his recent...
