...Washington's party-of-the-week. Diane ("Dede") Buchanan, 18, daughter of former State Department Protocol Chief Wiley Buchanan, made her debut in the stately gold-and-white Washington headquarters of the Organization of American States. Upstairs, the elegant elders made their way through a champagne supper to the soothing accompaniment of society's tried-and-true Music Maker Meyer Davis-who wrote for the occasion a number that began "Dede loves to travel and dance all night . . ." Downstairs, under a sign reading DEDE'S PEPPERMINT LOUNGE, the belle of the ball and her peer group rattled...

Oregon's Wayne Morse put it more bluntly: "I don't think the American economy can stand this program." And Vermont's Republican George Aiken was downright unkind: "I see no sign that...
James Leonard Farmer, 41, helped found the Congress of Racial Equality in Chicago 19 years ago; four months ago he was elected CORE's national director. Son of a college professor and grandson of a slave, hefty (6 ft., 210 Ibs.) James Farmer studied medicine at Texas' Wiley College just long enough to realize that he could not stand the sight of blood, decided to become a minister, took his divinity degree at Howard University, but was never ordained. Instead, he went to work for such "social-action causes" as Fellowship of Reconciliation and the N.A.A.C.P. He studied...
