...suffering from a terrible hangover when he barged into a press conference. Ehrlichman also claims that when he was asked to join the 1968 presidential campaign staff, he said he would do so if Nixon would curtail his tippling. Ehrlichman contends that Nixon agreed, and kept the unusual bargain...
...smooth curves and big luminous eyes. The rugged Maine Coon, with a bushy, ringed tail, first entered contests in the Pine Tree State in the 1860s.

But emotionally On Golden Pond is no less valid for being something of a cliche. Anyway, the characters are so strong that the piece does not play as a cliché. Hepburn, for example may have a less chewy part than has Fonda, but the briskness of her manner, her well-justified image as a no-nonsense individualist who is nevertheless a good...
