...Baltimore Room of Washington's Sheraton-Park Hotel last week, the 18-member Arrangements Committee tiptoed through the motions of picking the top officers for the Aug. 24 Democratic Convention in Atlantic City. National Committee Chairman John Bailey ran the meeting-but there was the Big Chairman Up Yonder in the White House, and it was he who really called the shots. Periodically Bailey loped off to a telephone in the next room to give Lyndon Johnson running reports on how well his committee was rubber-stamping Lyndon's directions...
Next day at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport, the President was greeted by a shouting crowd of 2,500, including a corps of red- white-and blue-costumed high school cuties who billed themselves as "Ladies for Lyndon." At the Minneapolis Sheraton-Ritz Hotel, more than 100 Democrats paid $1,000 each for a presidential cocktail party. Later Lyndon spoke to some 2,000 at a $100-a-plate dinner in the Minneapolis auditorium...

The subject: the change that is coming over the United States Steel Corp. Behind the closed doors of its executive suites, the world's largest steelmaker is shaking through the greatest reorganization in modern U.S. business...
...these extras, according to the indictment, was forged in a spylike atmosphere reminiscent of the electrical price-fixing case. The grand jury charged that the steelmen conspired in secret many times between 1955 and 1961, meeting in Manhattan hotels where the steel companies have permanent suites, including the Sheraton East and the Biltmore-which happened to be the scene of many electrical ; price-fixing sessions. Government trustbusters believe that the steelmen broke off their sessions only after some of the electrical executives were convicted and sent to prison...
