Approval Ahead. It was a foregone conclusion that the three-man subcommittee, consisting of Eastland, Sam Ervin of North Carolina and Roman Hruska of Nebraska, would act favorably on the nomination. It did. Liberal members of the parent committee forced a delay of a vote by the full committee until this week, but there seemed to be little doubt that it would recommend Senate approval...
...version, President Johnson maintained that he had truly been wanted. Kennedy, said L.B.J., "asked me on his own motion to go on the ticket with him, and I gave him my reasons for hesitating."

Peking is still the big spender, having provided $650 million in economic aid. Though Ho at first responded to the Chinese largesse by mimicking Mao with Orwellian...
...high noon. In Pennsylvania, a weather vane in the shape of an Indian was meant as an offer of friendship-and hence protection from rampaging redskins. Soon every back-porch whittler and crackerjack craftsman was getting into the act. Weather vanes popped up in the shapes of Uncle Sam, butterflies, locomotives, Gabriel tooting on a trumpet, a haggard country doctor astraddle a haggard horse, even a modest metal mermaid...
