...crew "Golda a Go-Go") winged westward to Los Angeles. At a star-studded formal dinner, Jack Benny explained that he was acting as toastmaster "only because Bob Hope is a gentile." Golda, who is not a moviegoer, was a bit uneasy in the receiving line-unable to quite sort out the Kirk Douglases from the Rita Marrows. She realized that film stars and politicians have inflated egos, and that not being recognized is, for them, the crowning insult. Later, TIME Correspondent Leo Janos, who traveled with Mrs. Meir, asked how many of them she had recognized. "Only Robinson...
...army as having been "founded and led personally" by Mao and "directly commanded by Vice Chairman Lin." Now, however, the phrase has been changed to state that the army is "commanded directly by Chairman Mao" and Lin.

Two out of three think that business is too concerned with profit, three out of four that U.S. society is racist, four out of five that politics is dominated by string-pulling special-interest groups. A substantial minority believe that U.S. society is more repressive today than it was two years ago, and a majority think that a period of greater repression...
...switches, the soft version of Chrysler's 1935 Airflow. But every good Freudian knows all that without having to prowl within a sculptor's imagination. On the other hand, who could anticipate Oldenburg's explanation of his sculpture Raisin Bread, Sliced? "It was conceived as a sort of Parthenon and was also suggested by a picture I saw of Paris' Madeleine Church turning into a loaf of bread. The piece has a lot to do with excrement and sex. It also has to do with cutting...
