Anonymous Sandhogs Plan Beards as Disguises in Mirimar
In a murky scheme described by Littlejohn and Dennis, Texas and Oklahoma sandhogs and dozer jockeys will grow beards and pose as local volunteers in Mirimar to camouflage their identities. They discuss improvised props like easels and art supplies to blend into a bohemian fishing village, recalling old Marshall Plan lore and a long string of government offices. The plan hints at secrecy and anonymous contributions, with a tongue-in-cheek view of orchestrat-ing deception.

GOP Leaders Blast Kennedy Spending Plan and Power Grab
Washington dispatch reports Senate and House Republican leaders denounce Kennedy's 1962 program as centralizing federal power and boosting spending. Everett Dirksen calls it a Leviathan state while Charles Halleck terms it more White House control, debt, and taxes. The piece blends political debate with fictional diary insertions about Dennis and Francesca, ending with a cliffhanger “To Be Continued.”
