...members of Britain's rival teen cults threw a wild weekend punch-up at seaside Clacton. This time, some 3,000 "Mods" and "Rockers" flocked to Margate and Brighton, the Mods (for modern) spiffed up in drainpipe trousers and pastel shirts, the Rockers encased in black leather jackets and cowboy boots. At each resort the Mods, who ride scooters and call their girls "birds," pitched camp at one end of the beach. The Rockers, who care more for their motorcycles than their birds, formed a tight rectangle at the other end. With jackets incongruously zipped up despite...
...York's two Republican Senators, Kenneth Keating, 64, and Jacob Javits, 60, have no problem remembering each other's birthday, since both were born on May 18. Last week Javits remembered Upstater Keating with a red-leather clipboard and pen, for jotting notes on planes during next fall's re-election campaign.

Conformity or Chaos. Sharply at 10 a.m. every Monday, the Cabinet members sit down in red leather armchairs in the 26th-floor board room for a 21hour meeting.

Lumber, beef and leather are growing businesses. Last year exports climbed to $40 million, highest since World War II, while imports fell enough to give the country its first trade surplus in five years. The cost of living rose only 1.1% last year v. 26% in neighboring Argentina and 80% in Brazil...
...Field. At week's end he was back at his Saturday matinee. Leaning far back in his massive green leather chair, legs crossed, hands sometimes clasped behind his neck, the President was the picture of ease. His biggest news concerned a "very comprehensive" study of the U.S. draft system and military manpower policy which he had ordered. The outcome, he said, might indicate the possibility of ending the draft within a decade. Again, he rattled off a dizzying array of statistics, including some to show how a nationwide rail strike would put a disastrous crimp in the economy...
