...squired down Fifth Avenue in a tickertape parade. Jones's popularity forced him to play in his own tournament against his will. He was never in the running, but the press retained an unflagging belief in his invincibility. After the first day's play, The New York Times ran the headline, "Unsteady Putting Drops Jones to Tie for 35th, Six Shots Behind Golf Leaders...
...Kevin H. White, then Massachusetts's Secretary of State, ran for mayor of Boston against Louise Day Hicks. It was a classic race of the '60s, with White as the John Lindsay-type liberal and Hicks as the ogre who proclaimed about the race issue, "You know where I stand." Samuel P. Huntington, Thompson Professor of Government and White's Beacon Hill neighbor, recruited Frank for White's campaign. White won and Frank stayed on at City Hall as his administrative assistant, a position reserved for whiz-kids. After three years, he says, he was "just worn-out" and Frank...
...many members are Southerners representing stubbornly anti-union constituencies. Nor do traditional party alliances signify much to scores of freshmen and sophomore Democrats who were elected by appealing to moderate Republicans and independents.

Revolulion provided a subject matter for unexpected artists. Who, for insiance, would have supposed that Marc Chagall, whose studio for the past 35 years...
...convert Yaddo, her 500-acre estate in Saratoga Springs, into a working haven for writers, musicians and artists. Mrs. Ames decreed that the 54-room Yaddo mansion must remain "a splendid private home, where a small 'house party' of friends may feel wholly at ease," and she ran it in that Jamesian way until 1969, keeping Yaddo short on rules (no visitors from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.) and long on big-name residents. They included James Baldwin, Leonard Bernstein, Edward Hopper, Louis Kronenberger, Carson McCullers and Clyfford Still. John Cheever, another visitor, credited Mrs. Ames with...
