"Nixon controls wages, but not prices. He helps big business, but he's screwing everyone else." Mrs. Virginia Carson, a Norwalk, Conn., registered nurse, says that despite Nixon controls, inflation still eats into her income, but she adds: "McGovern's ideas are unrealistic in the light of inflation, and Nixon has the confidence of the business world.

Burt Reynolds' rise has come from unveiling more than his anatomy. Until two years ago, he says, "I was the tight, constipated actor. I just stood there with my No. 3 virile look and never took chances." Then he drew a guest spot on the Johnny Carson show and revealed an unexpected penchant for putdowns, mostly of himself ("My movies were the kind they show in prisons and airplanes, because nobody can leave").
