WHAT MADE THE U.S. GREAT
The year 1968 was christened
by many an observer and commentator the Year of the Upset,
and correctly so.
To be sure, there were nonupset, events in 1968 steady
U. S. progress in space research
and -exploration..monster New
York City and State budgets
cooked up by Mayor John V.
Lindsay and Gov. Nelson A,
Rockefeller respectively..ever
bigger spending programs submitted to Congress by President Lyndon B. Johnson..attempts by that same President
to "build bridges" of understanding to the Red nations, on advice
of bemused aides that the Kremlin was "mellowing"...fast
growth of the national debt.
But the upsets far outnumbered the no-suprise items.
Early in 1968 on Jan. 23the USS Pueblo, an intelligence
or spy ship, was grabbed by
North Korean patrol boats on a
charge of intruding in Red North
Korea's territorial waters,
along with its: 83-man crewone of whom was fatally wounded during the capture.
Washington, fearing _ to
heighten U. S. difficulties in the
Vietnam war, made slow-motion
seemingly halfhearted efforts to
get crew and ship back, The crew
was released Dec, 22, 1968, after
a U.S, “apology” which Maj. Gen. :
Gilbert H. Woodward repudiated
before signing it.
The Viet war floundered on.
The Red North Vietnamese were
badly beaten in their Tet (lunar
pd year) offensive early in
Doves; Hawks;
Civil Rights
But the fact of victory was
obscured in the U.S.A. by de-.
featist or downright Communist
bellowings of antiwar "doves."
Among dove leaders were Sen.
Robert F. Kennedy (D-N.Y.),
brother of the assassinated
President John F, Kennedy, and
the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King
Jr., prominent Negro civil rights
leader.
Kennedy continually downgraded President Johnson in an
obvious drive to cut him out of
nomination for reelection. Dr.
King's agitations for civil rights
moved other and more impulsive
Negro leaders to urge violent
uprisings.
~ Seeing the nation becoming
more and more divided on these
and other questions, President
Johnson on March 31, 1968,
scored a major upset when he
announced via nationwide television that he would not run for
reelection.
This abdication tossed the political fat into the fire.
Sen, Eugene J. McCarthy (DMinn.) had scored heavily in the
first of the year's presidential
Dr. King was assassinated in
Memphis on April 4, and the

aroused freeworld wide grief.
Three-Ply Race
Won by Nixon
At their August convention in
‘Chicago (punctuated with wild.
Communists), the Democrats
nominated Vice President
Hubert H, Humphrey for President and Sen. Edmund Muskie
of Maine for vice president.
The Republicans, at their
August convention in Miami
Beach, put up former Vice
President Richard Milhous
Nixon for Chief Executive, with
Gov. Spiro T. Agnew of Maryland as Mr. Nixon's running
mate,
Ex-Gov. George C. Wallace
of Alabama named himself for
President and Gen. Curtis E.
LeMay, retired, for vice president on the conservative American Independent ticket.
-In the campaign, Mr. Humphrey came from a weak start
to a strong finish at the Nov.
5 election, but not quite strong
enough to win.
Ballot score was: Nixon,
31,770,237 . . . . Humphrey,
31.270,533 . . . . Wallace,
9,906,141 ..... others,
239,908,
Electoral college votes :
Nixon, 301, (from 32 states)
. . » Humphrey, 191 (from 13
states) . . . Wallace, 46 (five
states plus one vote from North
Carolina),
The heavy vote for Wallace,
plus Nixon's victory, appeared
to indicate a rather strong nationwide trend toward conservatism, after long periods of
F, D. Roosevelt—J. F. Kennedy—
L. B, Johnson liberalism.
Spring A Luncheon
Spring heralds that famous
American pastime — not golfing,
not playing with suburban lawns
—but dieting! It seems that
everyone is
@® keeping their
eyes off the refrigerator and
on the calorie
charts in anticipation of. the
Z good shapes
necessary for
sumnier’s outdoor life. :
It’s not surprising that ladies
who used to have a_ healthy
breakfast, a hearty lunch, and a
huge dinner are all of a sudden
pecking away at the mini-est portions of low-calorie foods.
Yet this annual diet spree
shouldn’t stop you from inviting
your friends to a marvelous
luncheon, because you can still
serve up dishes that are fatlooking but thin-making. Wh:
not consider some of these lunc
suggestions using delicious bananas—a mere 85 calories each—
as the main ingredient.
Team bananas with seasonal
fresh or canned or frozen fruits
for appetizing and colorful salad
plates. Some tasty combinations
are Banana-Apricot-Cottage
Cheese and Banana-Apple-Walnut. Large bowls of sliced banana
rounds topped with vanilla yoghurt is a_ refreshing warm
weather lunch dish.
For spectacular anytime-atall salads, add sliced Chiquita
brand bananas to flavored gelatin with other fruits and wagetables for a molded salad. {nanas have an almost limitless
horizon of cooking possibilities.
And for the dieter, they are the
rfect food because they are satrome and filling, yet low in
caloric count.
Making a banana-oriented
luncheon is a waist-line saver—
not to mention the work it saves
for the hostess. Everyone will
come back for seconds—and even
thirds—with nary a worry about
straying from the straight and
narrow!

Eyes Right For Summer
The biggest news of the past few years has been that it’s
‘S, if
the sun bravely in the face
without adequate protection. Gone are the days when a pretty
girl had to wrinkle up like a 6
prune in the glare of summer
sun—with lasting effects sure to
show up later in tiny lines
around her eyes.
Now, sunglasses are with it
—they have become one of the
most important fashion accessories in many eye-popping
styles. Round-eyed goggles
squared-off specs, wrap-around
and oval fashions ‘are all in
favor and the fashionable sunworshipper has a wardrobe of
several pairs.
To be truly in style, however,
sunglasses must offer prover
protection. When you’re buying
a new pair, keep in mind these
tips from the experts at Bausch
& Lomb: Don’t buy fancy colored lenses, except for out-ofabst. 5 you
might be struck by the dazzling
effect of pink glasses, "tae eyes
may suffer. Also, oddly-colored
lenses distort the natural colors
of objects and most often don’t
provide adequate glare protecAs the people from “Hair” —
that great tribal-rock musical
sing — now’s the time to let the
“sun shine in.” Not only has
spring sprung — and you’ve lost
that up-tight winter feeling—but
you feel as if you want to celebrate something.
And why not? Spring is the
time for re-celebrating the things
you’ve done without all winter:
the first ice cream cone of the
season you can eat without feeling cold inside and out, the first
dip of a foot into the lake to test
the water’s temperature, the first
walk in the park to see how the
flowers are doing (while you’re
really watching HIM).
course, another way you
celebrate is by sheddi those
heavy, dark winter clothes and
putting on light cottons, knits
and linens. Your body is free to
move — in swimming, dancing or
just running and jumping.
And while you’re at it, why not
let your face celebrate the first
robin’s chirp, too. Liberate your
face of winter make-up and
plump for skin-skimming spring
cosmetics—light and bright like
the first sun rays.
Let it all shine out with lipsticks like Tussy’s Realgirl Gold
Ore or Silver Mine Tintype
Transparent Lip Coverings.
More or less a lipstick (more
shine than a regular lipstick, but
less density—so the real you
shines through), these little
sticks turn on the glow. You can
celebrate the first day above 70°
or the silvery sliver of the moon
on romantic evenings with them
—or even more patriotically, our
trips to the moon.
Now’s the time to put your
money where your mouth is. Invest in new.out-shine-’em-all lipsticks — and put a smile and a
shine on your face.
tion. The only safe hues which
don’t effect color perception are
sage green and dark gray.
prepared to spend a little
more to protect your eyes: A
great deal of time and effort are
involved in the manufacture of
quality sunglasses. Ray-Ban
sunglasses, for instance, are
made of ground, polished optical glass and checked to make
sure they are free of distortions
that would be distressing to
your eyes.
Lastly, always use care in selecting a proper frame. The
frame should fit so well that
you hardly know you’re wearing glasses. And a quality
frame will withstand the normal rough treatment that sunglasses get. ;
Follow these rules for choosing sunglasses and you'll not
only be in fashion — your eyes
will be right for summer and
all year ’round.

Underwater Research Journey
To Hitch-Hike On Gulf Stream
_Six men and a unique submarine named “Ben Franklin,”
will explore one of the earth’s last frontiers in June in a fourweek underwater journey from Florida to Massachusetts.
Led by Swiss ocean engineer, Dr. Jacques Piccard who
designed and supervised construction of the 50-foot submarine
in Switzerland, the scientists
will drift in the north bound
currents of the Gulf Stream
at depths from 300 to 2,000
feet. e Ben Franklin, built
and operated by Grumman
Aircraft Engineering Corporation, will enable the six
crewman to make continuous
measurements and conduct
long-term experiments in the
same volume of water as the
boat glides silently along the
Atlantic coast.
The crew, in addition to
Dr. Piccard, consists of
Donald J. Kazimir, Grumman
captain of the Ben Franklin;
Erwin Aebersold, of
Lausanne, Switzerland, a
member of Piccard’s staff and
chief pilot; Roswell F.
Busby, civilian scientist with
the U.S, Naval Oceanographic
Office; Chester B. May, of . th
National Aeronautics and
Space Administration, and
Kenneth Haigh, British Navy
researcher, an exchange
scientist. with the Naval
Oceanographic Office. In
addition to experiments in
acoustics, marine biology,
bottom topography and other
marine phenomena conducted by Busby and Haigh,
the mission will afford NASA
scientist May the opportunity
to better define the analog or
similarities between long-term
underwater isolation and
future space flights, by
Observing psychological and
physiological effects on the
crew, and maintainability of
equipment aboard.
The Gulf Stream Drift
Mission will begin on June 2,
when the white steel superStructure of the Ben Franklin
slips beneath the waves off
the coast of Palm Beach, only
to reappear some four weeks
. later, east of Cape Cod.
