Greatly appreciated the July 7 article on New York City's Cop Kennedy. Reared under strong disciplinarians and schooled under the meekest of socio-individual reformers, I see no antagonism between the two. The strong arm needs a big heart. It is only when one is greatly out of proportion to the other that hateful mastery or loveless nonrestraint occurs. Ministers and social workers in New York should warmly appreciate a policeman like Kennedy...
...Ambassador McClintock ran a polished show, still found time to keep trim with push-ups and strolls at the far end of his black poodle's leash. As Lebanon drifted toward civil war, he was credited with recommending the U.S. policy of keeping President Camille Chamoun at polite arm's length until Chamoun put his own political house in order. Iraq changed all that...
Abroad, a pair of artistic Americans were cackling their views on the North American vale of tears. Madly unpredictable Old Poet Ezra Pound, 72, predictably greeted Italy with a wizened arm raised in the Fascist salute, modestly named for reporters the U.S.'s best poet ("Ezra Pound"), said of his homeland: "All America is an insane asylum." With snatches of Water Boy, Basso Paul Robeson, 60, a well-heeled Marxist, flapped his brand-new passport aloft as he arrived in London for a concert tour. Question from newsmen: Is Paul in the Party? "I have a right...

But, I mean, it's even nicer than our house." Near her, a trim, wavy-haired man gravely replied: "Thank you, madam." For Norman Tishman, 56, president of Manhattan's Tishman Realty & Construction Co., the compliment was no surprise; his company had planned the building to be the most luxurious cooperative...
...Yankee loot-and-run artist. In fact, he was sometimes a champion of Negro rights, sometimes a businessman with venture capital to invest, sometimes a restless Northern war veteran with a yen to revisit the South. If the carpetbagger's hand was plunged in the public till, his arm was frequently locked in that of a sly Southern collaborator who was only too happy to share the take. Unfortunately, Author Daniels' carpetsweeping approach to carpetbagger days often buries both his hero and his point in irrelevant memorabilia, including the names of countless small-fry politicos...
