House of Parlors. Johnson City (pop. 854) has also helped itself. A new dam on the Pedernales, with storage tanks that have raised the town's water reserves to a quarter-million gallons, was assisted by a federal matching grant after Johnson Citians had voted a $217,000 revenue bond issue to finance their half. Still, Lyndon Johnson gets the credit for most improvements: there is a Lake Lyndon B. Johnson in nearby Kingsland, a Lyndon B. Johnson High School, a Lyndon Baines Johnson State Park, and several roads bearing the presidential name. In the Texas state capital...
...tackle after an interception, turned sharply and broke his ankle in a preseason game against the Detroit Lions. Baltimore has had to rely on a stubborn defense and second-string Signal Caller Earl Morrall ever since Johnny Unitas, the N.F.L.'s Most Valuable Player last year, "felt something pop" during a preseason exhibition against Dallas.

Warhol, of course, is strictly pop, having turned out larger-than-life paintings of Campbell soup cans, realer-than-real sculptures of Brillo packages, and longer-than-interminable camp movies. Still, when Schrafft's decided to project a new with-it look, its ad agency, F. William Free & Co., thought that it might be a good idea to take on Warhol, now recovered from having been shot nigh unto death by a man-hating woman...
