...some extent, of course, L.BJ. has fallen victim to the mid-term doldrums that descend on most Presidents. He has also, doubtless, been hurt by a variety of troubles-the Viet Nam war, rising prices, big-city Negro riots-that are only partially of his making, if at all. He suffers nonetheless from a unique and painful handicap that Washington observers have come to call "the personality problem...
Armpit .38. In the aftermath of Atlanta's riot, it became clear that the principal victim was the Negro cause. Up north, Harlem's Representative Adam Clayton Powell had only encomiums for Carmichael's style of leadership. At a press conference publicizing a black power convention scheduled for Oct. 15, Powell ranted: "Even Jesus did not tell you what to do after you have been struck on both cheeks." As for himself, Powell confided he invariably packs a Colt .38 under his armpit...
...even three. He knows, for example, that Senta Berger, who plays the girl with a corpse in her closet, is an even tastier dish than the Christmas sandwich her screen name suggests.

...Next Victim. Corporations can afford today's lofty interest rates. Many local governments feel that they cannot, even though municipal and state bonds enjoy a lower rate level because investors pay no federal income tax on their earnings. Nashville last week postponed a $25 million offer of sewer and water bonds, and Baltimore failed to obtain a single bid on a $31.8 million issue because the city set an interest limit of 41% - the equivalent of a 9% taxable investment for a man in the 50% income tax bracket. After housing, bond men forecast, civic improvements may well become...
