The Week

• John Lindsay, campaigning for mayor of New York, stopped by a synagogue for a bit of oldtime religion and incidentally danced a trick or two of the hora. In the interest of civil rights and equality before the law he owes us two tarantellas, a County Kerry jig, and a nice low limbo. But he better hurry. It’s almost time for his limousine to turn into a pumpkin.

• Chairman William McC. Martin of the Federal Reserve Board gave a speech in which he pointed to several disturbing similarities between 1965 and 1929. Shortly thereafter he was summoned to the White House, whence the President in due course issued the statement that the economy was in good health and stock prices were not unreasonable. Which, come to think of it, was still another echo of 1929.
