...exuberant, swinging blowout that began the Kennedy years, with a seemingly endless inaugural parade and partying through the night. For four days, the capital will whirl sedately with genteel Republican merrymaking, beginning with an All-American Gala in the District of Columbia Armory, produced by Ed McMahon of the Tonight Show (see TELEVISION).

It's a basketball game of sorts, the way Ed sees it: "I help him get the ball down the court, and he sinks the basket." Sliding farther and farther down the couch as the guests pile up, Ed can still be heard roaring delightedly at all Carson's jokes, even the frequent gibes at Ed's supposed alcoholic prowess. Last week, giving blood on camera to help dramatize a nationwide shortage, Carson lifted his head...
...presents a Boston newsreel program of movement films tonight at 8 p.m. at 2 Divinity Avenue. One of the films, "Black Panthers," is an interview in prison, with Huey Newton, the Minister of Defense for the Oakland Black Panthers...
