While George Romney went a slumming, theWhite House turned a shrewd distaff eye upon the countryside. Accompanied by a Cabinet-rank coterie, the President's wife last week took off on a four-day, seven-state Midwest trek to broach a new Johnsonian quest: Can the U.S. slow the hegira to the cities, haul the hamlets out of hibernation, and reverse the overwhelming demographic thrust of the century...
Telling, Not Asking. Peggy impresses her teachers and fellow students as eminently levelheaded, fazed neither by her father's rank nor by the social hazards of having had a steady Negro beau. At Woodrow Wilson High School in Northwest Washington, she edited the yearbook and made the honors category every year. By last fall, when she was ready to enter Stanford, she and Guy were informally engaged. She wore no engagement ring, but brought Guy around the State Department's seventh floor so that her father's secretaries could meet the fellow she had talked about...
Physicians who deal with leukemia are reluctant to talk in terms of "breakthroughs" and "cures." Their fundamental position is that acute leukemia, the most common killing disease among children aged three to 14, is still fatal.

And though Bellotto lived from 1720 to 1780, it was only this summer at a major exhibition of vedutisti in Venice that the Italian public at long last realized that Bellotto had been a painter of the first rank, worthy of being mentioned in the same breath with his more famous uncle, Canaletto...
...wearing green and white dresses with the words "Louise Day Hicks" embroidered on the bodice, phoned in returns from the city's 275 voting stations, the cockiness at the Boston City Club, a garish stucco Park Square "nitespot," grew stronger and more comfortable. Some 400 people--holders of second-rank civil service offices, boisterous lady lawyers ("when Lawheeze is in, I think I'll ask her if I can be Police Commissioner"), and small-time real estate men--danced jigs, bought drinks, and ate too-sweet brownies. It was their night. Mrs. Hicks came in first, 13,000 ahead...
