...unlikely that Stanfield's image will change very much, even if he becomes the next Prime Minister. "I am what I am," he once said. "I can't change without being phony." But as more Canadians get better acquainted with Stanfield, they will learn that beneath his bland public exterior lies a compelling private man. "To know Stanfield is to like him," reports TIME Correspondent Geoffrey Stevens, who has closely followed the Tory leader's career since 1965. "He is a 'nice' man in a game that is not at all nice. His honesty...
Joey's first and only Hollywood connection is Sally Todd (Sylvia Miles), a bleached-out starlet living off alimony payments and her TV game show money. He conducts this relationship with the bland, innocent dispassion and quiet self-sufficiency which have virtually become Dallesandro's (and Warhol's) popular trademarks--while she is a turbulent mass of emotions, insecurities, and hurts, always seeking his support without success.

...aside one meal a week--a simple meal--as a means of commemoration to recall the days before the Liberation. I am wondering if the Harvard dining facilities could be induced to set aside a lunch or evening meal for the same effect--e.g., serve rice, or a great bland dish that can be bought, prepared, and served cheaply. I should think some five cents per person could be saved in this way, although an administration budget juggler would probably call me naive. The money would be sent to the Indochinese through an appropriate organization, and the program would continue...
