...bogus Martha was elusive because she used only the most celebrated Martha Mitchell weapon-the telephone. At 10:30 a.m. last Tuesday, TIME Washington Correspondent Bonnie Angelo received a call from a woman who identified herself as "Martha Mitchell." The caller apparently was a wily impersonator. She claimed to be in Washington with John Mitchell and phoning from a booth. Airplane noises could be heard on the line as she spoke.

...Borbon of Spain. A visitor to Hurok's office before the gala remarked that it was too bad that all the profits were going to the arts research library in Lincoln Center instead of to Sol himself. "But you can't take it with you," the caller observed. "I'm not planning to go anyplace," replied Hurok without pause...
