...point Goldsmith buzzed around the rain-slick, 2.5-mile track at a risky 155 m.p.h. "I broke into a number of slides that made my hair stand up," he later admitted. But his 3,200-lb. Tempest with wide-track wheels was a great deal easier to control than the lighter (by 400 Ibs.) Sting Rays-or even a pair of Italian Ferrari GTOs. Two Sting Rays pulled into the pits flooded with 4 in. of water on their floor boards from leaky vents; the others were sliding all over the track. At race's end, Goldsmith...
...field in defense of the New Frontier's own honor. Rousting four Justice Department aides out of bed to accompany him, the Attorney General and three dogs set out at 5 a.m. along the towpath of the old Chesapeake and Ohio Canal.

...ancient surfaces: tattered plaster, ravaged brick, gnarled woodwork, scabrous paint bespeak his affection for old, well-used places and things. But sometimes Sivard gets so carried away in his kindly lampoons that there is a detail too many, and the end result is no better than a merely slick magazine cover. His most impressive paintings are from that unpainted and usually humorless terrain, Russia, which Sivard saw out of the corner of his eye when in 1958 he handled negotiations for the American National Exhibition in Moscow, and came back home to Washington with enough sketches to keep his evenings...
