As Governor Rockefeller's Latin American tours have shown, the President will not hesitate to go outside regular State Department channels when he seeks fresh ideas and recommendations.

...Cowsills, the Monkees, Buffy Sainte-Marie. There are no "Johnny Cash Dancers," no fleshy production numbers. ("I don't go in a lot for that flashy stuff.") Nothing but a minimum of talk and then down to the substance of Johnny Cash and his show: singing songs. One regular singing session that Cash conceived and is particularly proud of: "Ride This Train," a wandering medley of folk songs and film clips through times and places in American history...
