...that you are hip, well, that's okay. Third-rate musicians and thinkers try to fashion themselves after the Lennons and Dylans and Zappas, trying to exhibit in their not-so-subtle ways that they are not merely Entertainers, but Important Thinkers. People with Something To Say. The Norman Vincent Peales of the Pop World, the Eric Burdons and the Jackie de Shannons, ruin what talents they have by imitating the concerns of smarter folk. They lack the convincing power of a Dylan or a Jagger. This was the Boston Sound all over. It was rife with rotten social commentators...
...Post published Kenneth Roberts and Stephen Vincent Benét, Agatha Christie and Erie Stanley Gardner, William Faulkner and Ernest Hemingway. Norman Raine's Tugboat Annie eternally beat rival Captain Bullwinkle to salvage jobs in Puget Sound; C. S. Forester's Midshipman (or Captain, or Commodore) Hornblower managed to leave himself in such parlous plight at the end of each installment that Post readers could not wait to get at next week's issue. Lorimer paid beautifully: $6,000 for a short story, $60,000 for a serial...

Married. Julie Nixon, 20, Presidentelect Richard M. Nixon's younger daughter; and Dwight David Eisenhower II, 20, only grandson of former President Dwight Eisenhower; in a 15-minute ceremony performed at Manhattan's Marble Collegiate Church by the Rev. Dr. Norman Vincent Peale. Julie wanted the wedding to be quiet, private and as small as possible. Only 500 family and friends were at the church, while Ike and Mamie watched over closed-circuit TV from his suite at Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, D.C. The only departure from the script came when Julie kissed...
