...lawyers and longtime friends with a talent for innovation. Johnson came to the Illinois Central in early 1966 after rejuvenating the moribund Railway Express. He increased profits by 41% to $22 million in 1967; profits were still higher last year. Johnson raised the investment in new cars and track and computerized the line's traffic-information operation. At the railroad's Chicago commuter stations, he installed turnstiles that open automatically when a passenger inserts a magnetically coded ticket in a slot. Through a merger now awaiting approval by the Interstate Commerce Commission, Johnson hopes to link his railroad...
After this lengthy introduction I move to the delicious business of describing the Miami Pop Festival. Held for three days in late December in a gigantic race-track cum park just outside Miami the Festival unrolled smoothly. It represented in its music a cross-section of the entire rock scene today: folk (Joni Mitchell, Buffy Ste. Marie, etc.), blues (James Cotton, Butterfield), jazz (Charles Lloyd), rock, progressive rock, Motown (Marvin Gaye, Jr. Walker) and even top-40 rock (the Boxtops, the Turtles). All this in a setting of serene scenic beauty...
There were two stages far enough apart so as not to interfere with each other's music, one in a meadow dotted with trees and the other in front of the racing track's grandstand. Vast open spaces in between with enormous Pop-Artifacts strewn along the way deliberately aimed at re-creating the Pepperland atmosphere of the movie "Yellow Submarine" and in the unfettered Florida sunshine amid throngs of healthy young people (46,000 on the last day) it came as close as is possible in real life to achieving its purpose...
...mistake. The song is sung by their child. All the songs tells a story. "Magic Bus" is about a man who takes a bus to see his girl every day, and decides to buy it. "Dogs" is about a man who meets his future wife at a race-track, and later finds that she is not the perfect mate for a dog racing addict. "Tattoo" is about two brothers who get tattooed because they decide it will make them men. "I Can See for Miles" deals with a person who can see his girl being unfaithful because he has telescopic...
...tartan track contributed to fast times in several of the running events. In the 600, Keith Colburn breezed from fourth to first in fifty yards to lead teammate John Gillis across the line in 1:12.0, a scant 1 1/2 seconds off the University record. Royce Shaw and Jon Enscoe uncorcked a 58-second final quarter to finish one-two in the mile with Shaw getting the nod in a photo finish. Both runners clocked impressive times of 4:11.2. Colburn, Gillis, Shaw, and Enscoe all doubled in the two-mile relay, coasting to a half-lap victory over North...
