...more mail than anything else he had ever done. Oregon's Wayne Morse, traveling in Wisconsin, made the papers with a complaint that Johnson was a "Charlie McCarthy in a political ventriloquist act." Michigan's unemployment-harassed Pat McNamara, whose Senate achievements have hardly been worth a stick of type, squawked at Johnson for blocking liberal Democratic attempts to broaden unemployment compensation. Pennsylvania's Joe Clark dashed off his second "Dear Lyndon" letter proposing that liberals have more say in policymaking. And even back in Texas, the liberal Young Democrats baited Johnson (209-73) for not being...
Important as Test Tubes. Waving happily toward the $1,500,000 Lilly Rare Book Library now being built at Indiana, Randall says: "Imagine putting up a building like that and not having a Gutenberg Bible to stick in it." But the spacious new library will be more than a shrine for ancient bits of paper and vellum. Thus far, Indiana's rare books have been useless to all but the few high-ranking scholars who could be allowed access to them.

Said the president, in the green days of administrative youth: "I love a riot . . . I loved them when I was an undergraduate . . . I can yield to no one the record of smashed light bulbs...
...sell a Big Three car as well as the Rambler, will probably carry the Big Three's line of small cars (though only Chevrolet, Ford and Plymouth dealers, of which Rambler has practically none, are expected to). Romney hopes that his hard core of 2,800 dealers will stick with Rambler. During the industry's 1958 slump, Rambler saved many of them; last year they made a 2.8% profit on their total sales v. .2% for the average U.S. dealer. Another reason for holding on: Rambler has a current resale price advantage of from $99 to $191 over...
