...victory over Barry Goldwater. In the 1960s, however, the measurement of success in box scores was not enough. If the New Politics has any validity, it is that the politician needs continuing mass support, in election year and out. Johnson had earned his reputation and learned his trade in closet politics, in the one-party Texas of another era and the cloister of Capitol Hill. He had scant preparation for the larger, less orderly world of national politics...
...average, only one out of every eleven records hits the charts-meaning the trade magazines' top 100; Jimmy Bowen has a three-out-of-five hit rating. His specialty is lending up-to-the-minute commercial appeal to long-established "household names." In 1964, while producing an album by Dean Martin, he saw possibilities in a little song written 15 years earlier by Martin's pianist, Ken Lane. He released it as a single, and Everybody Loves Somebody carried Martin to the top of the bestseller charts for the first time in two years...
...wonderful. There were lots of All-America players to buy and trade A big stadium to fill with cheering fans Coaches to advise And, best of all, there was the fun of going to the Bel-Air Hotel bar and staying up late at night talking football with friends.

He learned his swift and violent trade as a boy, skating on the frozen ponds of his home town, but like many young pros, he had found it hard to make a dent in the talent-heavy NHL. As a teenager...
Every Move. The trade to the Blues was the chance Berenson needed. He came out of cold storage and turned into a fireball, scoring 24 goals and 30 assists to become the division's most valuable player. This season "the Red Baron," as the St. Louis followers have dubbed the 6 ft., 190 lb. center, is still going strong and, as a result, so are the Blues. They are a runaway leader in the West Division; to their ever expanding pride, their 18-11-10 record includes a respectable 5 wins, 9 losses and 6 ties against the veterans...
