...Feel Great." In the next two days, Johnson maintained a pace that might have put many a younger man in hospital. He shook hundreds of hands, spoke thousands of words, kept so many appointments that the mimeographed White House schedule of daily activities began to read like the Yellow Pages. Warned one concerned visitor: "Mr. President, you're not going to be in condition for the operation if you keep going like this." Lyndon looked miffed. "I feel great," he said...
...clubs cater to many people who could not get to a bookshop, otherwise help store sales with generous advertisements in national magazines. Paperbacks, which give the seller only half the hardcover markup, have proved to bring in buyers who would never have been attracted otherwise, also introduce many younger people to serious reading. "Soon a person is going from a 75? novel to a $5 novel," says Joseph B. Anderson, owner of a bookshop in Larchmont, N.Y. "It's an easy transition, once they're hooked on books."

"No existing church stood for so much to us," says Walter Hopps, director of the Pasadena Art Museum. In fact, he was married there...
...sense, the younger Californian artists show American art at its last frontier. They do not mind being "funky," that is, casual, deliberately corny, explorers of the American vernacular. In the ambiance of the gadget, the dragster with painted flames in its exhausts, the never-closed supermarket with motorized shopping cars, the West Coast artist has become his own deus ex machina. They are part-optimistic, part-spooky gardeners in a garish no man's land between art and reality. Like the man who built the Watts Towers, they might, when finished, just move away and never come back...
