...boss. Boyd has held Chrysler's No. 3 slot-vice president in charge of domestic sales and production-ever since Townsend lured him from a similar position at American Motors in 1962. He will bring to his new job a strong suit in marketing experience and a close rapport with auto salesmen...
...predominantly urban nation, Johnson palpably does not enjoy cities and has little empathy with the majority of Americans living in them. Also, as shown by the graceless handling of Historian Eric Goldman's resignation as a special presidential consultant this month, Johnson has little or no rapport with the intellectual community. The President's strained relations with Big Labor's top brass were all too evident at his pilgrimage to Detroit on Labor Day -though there was no lack of rank-and-file palms admiringly outstretched for Johnson's benison along the motorcade route into town...
...President has to get along with the country's intellectual community. Few Presidents have done so, although most of them have tried-notably, Franklin Roosevelt with his Brain Trust, Kennedy with his White House stable of bright young Harvardmen.

Dorms with Classrooms. Florida State's Dean E. Laurence Chalmers is confident that the clustering will lead to "greater student rapport and a greater commitment to learning," because that is what happened to students in a trial run last year.

The teachers spontaneously coordinated assignments so that an English essay, for example, would deal with an idea being developed...
...have to do battle was the White House, where President Johnson listened attentively to the Prime Minister's explanation of his economic first-aid measures. Though Wilson neither asked for nor received any promises of U.S. financial support, it was clear that he still had excellent rapport with the President. Yet even the trip to Washington exposed the Prime Minister to fresh criticism at home. "The nation is becoming accustomed to waving farewell to Mr. Wilson just as things get uncomfortable," declared London's Daily Mail, recalling that Wilson took off on a trip to Moscow three weeks...
