...irregular hours that are the city's normal working conditions provide built-in alibis for determined politicos. Some congressional wives elect to stay home rather than live in Washington at all???giving the capital a contingent of permanent "summer bachelors." But the motivated men of Government cannot afford to take three-hour lunches, and the traditional cinq-a-sept is out of the question for a 12-to 15-hour-day man. By all accounts, the sexual quotient of Republican Washington is low. The Democrats of the Kennedy and Johnson years?relaxed, open, pleased with themselves?were more insouciant about...

As a new mother, she resembles a full page in McCall's rather than a Playboy foldout. And the expatriate stance has vanished. "America is where I belong," she says, after a six-year sojourn in France. "This...

Though it seemed clear that they had been created by somebody's gifted kindergarten son, the credit line truthfully assigned the artistry to Bob Dylan. On the inside cover, a phalanx of figures appeared?some 35 in all???who turned out to be The Band, backed by most of the members of their respective families. It is characteristic of our age that many people thought the family bit had to be a put-on. It was not. "We don't see our people all that much," Robertson says...
