...President swore good-humoredly, said the same thing-her standard reply-when he took her in his arms at a White House reception for wounded veterans of Viet Nam. He insisted that Courtenay had been misquoted by a reporter who wrote that she had gazed fondly over the presidential shoulder at Airman Patrick Nugent, Luci's fiancé, and declared instead: "I love Pat." Johnson gently suggested that the newsman should buy an earphone...
...folk-rocker who calls himself Antoine has a shoulder-length coiffure, wears pastel flowered Pucci shirts and silky Courrèges slacks. In some circles in the U.S. these days, that sort of getup hardly raises an eyebrow. In France, it's something new, and that helps to explain why Antoine is the biggest thing there since Scotch. His records are out selling Charles Aznavour, Yves Montand and Johnny Hallyday combined. Wherever he goes, the kids-the girls, especially - engulf him. At Paris' Olympia Music Hall, it took 35 flics to keep back the girls, who retaliated...
...into the heady rhythm, joining with Lady Bird's Press Secretary Liz Carpenter in some daring aberrations that bystanders called the "L.BJ." and the "Valenti." In the L.B.J., more caricature than choreography, they shuffled around the floor to the rhythm of the hitchhike, punching each other on the shoulder, "reasoning together," dialing imaginary telephones, grasping hands in the presidential flesh-press.

Matter of Age. The chances were that neither Keane nor Houk could revive these Yankees. Old age had destroyed their skills. Slugger Mickey Mantle, at 34 and in his 16th season, was playing with his shaky legs encased in tape; his right shoulder was still sore after an operation for a bone chip, and he had yet to hit his first home run. Roger Maris, 31, the second half of the M. & M. twins who tore the league apart a few years ago, sat out 116 games last year because of injuries. He seems healthy enough now, but his batting...
When a 19th century artist set out to depict the Stations of the Cross, he could fall back on a ready-made iconography. The fifth painting, he knew, must represent Simon helping Christ shoulder the cross. Not so for an abstract painter, who must face the problem of portraying the progression toward Calvary without the props of episodic, cartoon-strip clarity, and at the same time strive to render its essential agony. Barnett Newman, 61, the most abstract of the U.S. abstract expressionists, made the problem even harder: he resolved to limit himself to his own astringent style, depict Christ...
