...possible from defeat in November, and how to avoid party schism. Last week he described the situation as he saw it to his old friend Vice President Gerald Ford. "I thought he ought to know," Rhodes said. "I think he got the message." He telephoned his friend George Bush, the G.O.P. national chairman, to ask: "You got any good news?" Quipped Bush: "Yes, it's 12:17 and nobody's been indicted." The hardcore Nixonites in the House have been furious at Rhodes' reticence the past few weeks. "Why aren't you defending the President?" demanded...
Speaking over the telephone, the terrified hostages begged Huntsville officials to comply with the convicts' demands. At first the requests were sartorial: three tailored suits, three parrs of Nunn-Bush shoes, shirts, ties, cologne and toothbrushes. These were promptly provided.

Prager made it to Cyprus aboard a 1,000-ton German trawler bearing two dozen newsmen whose transistor radios interfered dangerously with the ship's compass. "The old Viet Nam bush jackets are here in full flower," quipped Marmon as Prager and other journalists arrived...
...production's chief ornament, however, is the Lucentio Bill of Gilbert Price, fresh from his astounding performances as the leading character in Mahagonny at Yale and his triumph in the principal role of Bernstein's Mass at Berkeley. Price is, not to beat about the bush, the best baritone in the business. Here he is charming as he sings "Bianca" with a single pink posy in his palms, and duets with his dazzling damozel (Norma Donaldson) in "Always True to You in My Fashion." In addition, this show allows him to exhibit a lot of mercurial movement and supple dancing...
