...state where conservative Gov. Roger D. Branigan could call the Kennedys "outside agitators" last April, things are improving rapidly for the liberals. Facing a GOP sweep, the party gubernatorial candidate Rock asked McCathy co-ordinator and professor James Bogle to head his "Citizens for Rock" group. About twenty per cent of party boss Gordon St. Angelo's precincts are now under liberal control. Following the November election, the old McCarthy organization and a few other liberals (Kennedy imported his May primary machine, leaving few Kennedyites) will gather to form a permanent political group to work within the party for progressive...
...such a top secret that they referred to it only as "Project X," dispatched carpenters to Carnegie Hall to shore up the aging stage. Talcum powder was sprinkled between the boards to eliminate creaks caused by the movement of cameras. TV crewmen were provided with velvet slippers. Producer-Director Roger Englander boned up on scores so that camera angles could be synchronized with changes in the mood of the music.

Above ground, there is only a check-in counter and a bank of elevators. The elevators take cars below to be stored on circular levels, each of which is really a turntable that rotates until an empty space comes to the elevator. When it arrives, the car is parked automatically...
...wake of their strike against Gaullist censorship (TIME, July 26), 102 of France's broadcast journalists have been forced out of their jobs or received transfers. Among the dismissed: News Panel Moderator Jacques Legris, Foreign Affairs Analyst Emmanuel de La Taille and Star Sportscaster Roger Couderc. The purge, a repudiation of the government s pledge of amnesty during the strike and a violation of the French constitution, was described by Le Nouvel Observateur as "the scandal of scandals of 1968. Of all the humiliations inflicted by the regime, this one seems the worst...
