WHEN Lyndon Johnson's personal effects were trucked out of the White House, they contained at least 500,000 pictures of the President, his family and subordinates, taken by L.B.J.'s ubiquitous official photographer, Yoichi Okamoto, 54. Okamoto had served the President as a sort of benign paparazzo during the White House years, recording most of L.B.J.'s waking moments and some of his sleeping ones, too. The photographer was a familiar sight at every Cabinet meeting, every National Security Council meeting. Johnson wanted Okamoto with him constantly, taking pictures of L.B.J. with Congressmen, L.B.J. with Kosygin...
...first of the new Schaap books off the presses (published last week) is Jerry Kramer's Farewell to Football, a sort of Son-of-Instant-Replay that brings Kramer fans up to date on the articulate behemoth's final (1968) season, his biography and his future plans. Next (mid-October) will come The Year the Mets Lost Last Place, a 75,000-word treatise put together by Schaap and Newsweek Editor Paul D. Zimmerman in six weeks during July and August. It will be followed by I Can't Wait Until Tomorrow . . . 'Cause I Get Better...
...instance, increases from one in 2,000 births for a woman at age 25 to one in 50 at age 45. For a woman's ova, unlike her husband's sperm, are not manufactured continuously so that they are always fresh, but are laid down in a sort of pre-egg form while she is still in her mother's womb, or shortly after birth.

...most venerable of professors," he became for generations of students the "supreme exponent of English lit." He was also the classic exemplar of the winetaster theory of literature. Saintsbury, indeed, wrote with equal learning and authority on poetry and port but, alas, as if they were the same sort of thing. Pundits who teach poetry as a matter of the palate-or of professional gain-naturally detest and fear a creative man of letters like Ezra Pound, to whom poetry was a passion in which the soul was engaged in mortal questions of great consequence. Sir Edmund Gosse, for instance...
...occupies his flophouse dreams and gives him a convenient excuse for not fighting. Then one day, finding himself in a Y.M.C.A. gym, he meets Ernie Munger, an 18-year-old would-be welterweight and sends him to his own long-suffering ex-manager, Ruben Luna. This should be some sort of beginning. But the three are going precisely no place. Tully dries out for one more fight. He wins-but finds his victory meaningless. He wanders the streets realizing that he is a bum. The deprivation of his life is somehow symbolized by the memory of sleeping in a park...
