...Delaware's John Williams, one of the very few Senators who had not announced a position on Safeguard. "Senator," the page stage-whispered, "the President is on the telephone." The ABM opponents concluded that Nixon was applying last-minute pressure to win a wavering vote. Not a bit of it. ABM was never mentioned in the phone conversation, though Williams eventually voted with the Administration. Williams is the ranking Republican on the Senate Finance Committee, and the President merely wanted to talk over with him the tax-reform proposals that the House of Representatives was about to take...

He was too young for World War I. As father of four, he was draft-exempt during the second. Still, he treasured a notion of himself in officer's garb. "But I would have...
...party was a bit uncomfortable for Junior, but despite "The trouble with some of the words I'd never heered before," he says, "I'd like to do it again some time." Undoubtedly, he will get the chance. As a summer substitute, Hee Haw will go off the air Sept. 7, but its extraordinary Nielsen rating makes the show a likely CBS replacement for January dropouts. Apparently, many American viewers are fed up with the "crisis of the cities" programming that fills the TV news, and are seeking solace in the eternal verities -and inanities-of the country...
