...Deep Stuff. Martin did not even send Rayburn the proposal worked out by Keating and Rogers. Instead, newsmen handed Sam a copy. He read it once, grunted, read it again, then again and again, finally announced: "This is very deep stuff. I'll have to have a little more time to digest it." Whereupon he disappeared into his office, taking with him four fellow Texans to aid in the digestive process. The Republicans' "deep stuff": 1) the contempt of court provisions of the bill would apply to violations of voting rights only, and not to all criminal contempt...

Felt but Not Heard. Jimmy's trio (Giuffre, sax and clarinet; Jim Hall, guitar; Ralph Pena, bass) strutted their stuff one star-studded night last week in the outdoor Wollman Theater in Manhattan's Central Park. Jimmy led the boys through a passel of his favorites: Pickin' 'Em Up and Layin' 'Em Down, 42nd Street, My Funny Valentine. The bass wove its low melodic line against the woodsy, paper-dry clarinet sound, the guitar attacked as solo rather than rhythm instrument. Sometimes Jimmy had five instruments (he played tenor and baritone sax and clarinet...
