...China last week provided a large share of Washington's worries, but it was the other China that attracted firsthand attention in the nation's capital. Mme, Chiang Kaishek, wife of the Generalissimo, continued the "unofficial" visit she began last month, charming her hosts at a luncheon with 60 Senators and at a dinner given by Dean Rusk-and all the while discussing the danger of admitting Red China to the United Nations. Her wit and ebullience only served to increase the mystery of another, more retiring Nationalist Chinese visitor-one whom she knows well: Defense Minister Chiang...
...before the TV cameras to concede defeat. "The main-reason for the outcome," said he, "is that in wide areas we have not succeeded in removing prejudices and familiarizing people with our programs."

Ford has rounded its square sides, but squared its previously rounded rear lights. The cars of struggling American Motors, whose market share has been dropping (to 3.4% in the first half of 1965), are scarcely changed. The higher-price lines have also added bigness and luxury without substantial restyling. Mercury has grown two inches to 18.3 feet. Buick's Riviera shucks its triangular front-vent windows in favor of a single pane, also...
...District for 85 years now. Government is much the largest industry in Washington. Much of the most valuable land is Federal property. As in other areas where the government has a major impact--Oak Ridge is an example--Congress has accepted its responsibility to pay its share for the services the local government provides...
