Still carrying a slight cough from a two-day bout with viral laryngitis, Mrs. Lyndon Johnson last week set out on her most ambitious beautifying and sightseeing trip since becoming First Lady. It was, appropriately enough, within the borders of Texas...
...device is not foolproof. Calls made from party lines make tracing tough. But already it is paying dividends in terms of arrests. With slight variations, New Jersey Bell Telephone has been using it since last fall, Bell in Pennsylvania since the first of the year. In Rockland, Me., the device pinpointed a 17-year-old boy who had been pestering a family with several teen-age girls. And in Massachusetts it has led to a dozen convictions in the past six months on charges of harassment and use of obscene language, resulting in sentences ranging from a $200 fine...
...read a novel now, though slowly. She walks well, except for a slight limp. So well, in fact, that Actress Patricia Neal, 40, recovering remarkably from three massive strokes during pregnancy last year, left her healthy seven-month-old baby at home in Buckingham and rode down to London's Grosvenor House to attend the British Film Academy's annual awards ceremony. Smiling as Actor James Mason ticked off some of the winners in the lesser categories, she suddenly heard him intone: "Best Foreign Actress . . .

Far more than the sum of her long (5 ft. 10 in.), model-spindly parts (31-21½-36), she is a creature of contrasts-one minute so phisticated, the next faunlike, now exotic and faraway...
...equally advanced set of tennis players. There was California's rangy Pancho Gonzales, trying for a comeback at the ripe age of 37, and the current Wunderkind of the pro circuit, Australia's Rod ("Rocket") Laver, 27, biggest money winner ($65,495) in 1965. Finally, there was slight (5 ft. 7 in.), polite Ken Rosewall, also an Australian and evidently a has-been at 31, since Laver had pushed him off the top of the heap last year. In the quarterfinals, Gonzales gave Rosewall something to think about by trouncing his onetime Davis Cup twin, Lew Hoad...
