...Denver, Miller cried that the Democrats "have given us Bobby Baker and Billie Sol Estes. And Lyndon Johnson had the colossal nerve at Atlantic City to go before the American people and say, 'Let us continue.'" In Lincoln, Neb., he told an airport crowd about what might happen if Johnson wins the election: "I suppose we will have George Meany as head of the Small Business Administration and Bobby Baker as Secretary of the Treasury." In Columbus, he struck out at possible Democratic dirty work at the polls: "Maybe we're being optimistic, but we hope that...
...gonna keep him down on the farm when he's out on $140,000 bail (and appealing his three mail-fraud convictions)? It's more than ordinarily tough when the country boy is Texas Fizz Kid Billy Sol Estes, 39. A 24-ft. sign now rising over an El Paso building reads "Billy Sol Estes, Importer and Exporter of Fine Products," and though Pecos Bill is listed only as an "employee" of the shop (one way to avoid a stampede of creditors), it looks as though he is starting up for real in the Mexican scrape and sombrero...
...acre in 1951 to $173,040 an acre. It now takes $185 per square foot to get front age on Munich's Marienplatz, and hill top land outside Bonn that went for 10 per square foot five years ago now brings $4.65.

And much of the South is effectively ear-muffed; Rudolf Bing two years ago refused to allow the touring Met to appear before segregated audiences, and Sol Hurok, with his huge stable of artists, has had a similar policy for a decade. At week's end the new musical boycott of the Deep South was endorsed by Vladimir Horowitz. Horowitz' stand was duly reported in the press, despite its purely theoretical value-he has not played in public anywhere...
Chicago Discounter Sol Polk puts it more bluntly: "We've got to have more things that someone can have first on his block." He wants to turn the home inside out with new products. "I'm angry with kitchens," says he. "Once you fix them, you can't change them." Polk would like kitchen equipment to be as movable as living-room furniture, wants pool-sized bathtubs for the whole family, electronic-memory bathroom scales, home steam rooms, and laundry equipment that will wash, dry and fold a towel in seconds...
