...about as close an associate as Felker has--design director for both The Voice and New York, as well as chairman and vice-chairman of various Felker publishing companies. Glaser's work is appropriately glossy--with the ever-legitimizing Marlboro Man on the back cover and an uninspired Spiro Agnew elongation on the front, plus a new logo without the brackets--since [MORE] is what reporters type at the bottom of pages in an unfinished story and thus is unsuited for a multi-media mag. Everything inside comes in boxes, sort of like a Kellogg's Snack Pack. Your eyes...
...while the whiff of conspiracy emanating from all these Felker connections may be only that, a whiff, the content of [MORE]'s new issue gives off such a stench of conspiracy that you'll forget mere takeover theories. Foremost on the list of subjects is Spiro Agnew, who would still be in prison were it not for plea-bargainers in the Justice Department like Elliot Richardson.

The odds are now 1 to 2, the study judges, that the Vice President will one day become President...
Love letters by Richard Nixon to the wife of a Spanish diplomat? Even at a time when nothing about Nixonian Washington can instantly be denied out of hand, it seemed beyond belief. But high-powered Literary Agent Scott Meredith, whose nonliterary clients include Spiro Agnew and Judith Exner, claims he got an anonymous tip, was instructed to place a cryptic ad in the Los Angeles Times, then heard from a man who turned over 22 letters to the unnamed woman. Meredith added that two graphologists have verified the handwriting. Said he: "I'm not satisfied yet that they...
