...Johnson likely to run as Vice President on anyone else's ticket? Not a chance, says a Johnson staffer. "Can you imagine Lyndon sitting there watching someone else trying to run his Senate?" And if Johnson failed, where would his Southern power go? Johnson personally is fond of Humphrey and somewhat less than impressed by Symington. But conceivably, if the Kennedy-Humphrey-Stevenson liberals are arrayed against Johnson, the Southern votes might well go to Missouri's Symington-in fact, in their Midwest sales pitch Johnson forces are snuggling close to Symington people.

...Heroes. The Theatre Guild's President Lawrence Langner thinks that scripts cater to parochial Broadway tastes, insists that the rest of the nation is not so fond of rape, reefers and sodomy. His views won front-page attention in a recent issue of Variety under the banner: FOLKS DON'T DIG THAT FREUD.

He once flew for Castro, now claims that an anti-Castro group owes him $16,000. Romantically fond of danger, girls and uncomplicated poetry, Youngblood says: "I have no loyalties. I just work for money." Can the U.S. stop these mercenaries? The border patrol last week brought in 90 extra agents, and the Bureau of Customs offered $5,000 rewards for usable tips telephoned to Franklin...
...observed, after seeing her coy performance in Caesar and Cleopatra, suffered from "fallen archness." He rewrote razor-blade ads ("Ask the man who hones one"), and punctured politicians ("When candidates appeal to 'Every-intelligent voter' they mean everybody who is going to vote for them"). He drafted fond couplets to his young sons...
