...They gave their mandate to the program of progress President Johnson has called the 'Great Society.' " Labor itself could-and did-claim a major share of the credit for helping the people evidence their will. During the campaign, the A.F.L.-C.I.O.'s Committee on Political Education staged a massive voter registration drive, distributed some 65 million pieces of propaganda, endorsed 354 congressional candidates, giving special attention to 89 marginal House seats, reported spending $894,000, although the actual figure for organized labor was probably closer to $20 million. In the aftermath, the investment looked good: the Administration...
Change of Mind. The money is Russia's assessed share of the cost of maintaining U.N. peace-keeping forces in Suez and the Congo. Russia supported the original U.N. action in both cases, but later changed its mind-to give Nasser a free hand in the Suez area, and to aid Red stooges in the Congo after Leftist Patrice Lumumba was assassinated.

Most modern art since Manet has brought three-dimensional images closer and closer to the picture plane, like noses pressed against a window pane. Johns is totally uninterested in the game of perspective; his interest is in the surface of the canvas and in putting instantly recognizable symbols through rigorous permutations. He slathers and slurries his images with a random, painterly stroke reminiscent of the abstract expressionists. He rubs sterile graphic images in an artist's saucy delight of texture...
...could understand--though not share--the Administration's anxiousness to receive antipoverty funds if Harvard stood to gain more than a few thousand dollars. But the Act specifies that only students whose parents earn under $3000 a year qualify for U.S. aid. Although the Student Employment Office dislikes to release figures on family income, it seems unlikely that more than a handful of Harvard students come from families this poor...
