...looks like a cross between a golf cart and a moon buggy. It is popularly known as "the flying bathtub" and "the top hat on wheels." Its real name is Witkar-Dutch for white car-and it may just prove to be the biggest advance in inner-city transportation since trolleys took over from velocipedes...
Mere Mortals. Nixon's once much feared palace guard emerges as more petty than sinister. Magruder describes how Haldeman once gave his young aide Larry Higby a brutal dressing-down for failing to provide a golf cart to take him 200 yds. across the presidential compound at San Clemente. Haldeman loved to make his far-flung assistants jump by activating their Pageboy beepers, especially when traveling in Air Force One: "[Nixon] and Haldeman and Chapin and the others in the traveling entourage would get up there, 30,000 ft. above the earth, and something would happen to them...
Sebring-Vanguard, Inc., of Sebring, Fla., hopes to be first out. It has beefed up a four-wheel golf-cart chassis, bolted on a snub-nosed auto body, and named the resulting vehicle CitiCar. Four prototypes are presently scooting around at speeds of up to 30 m.p.h. over distances of 50 miles before needing a seven-hour recharge from household current. The car seats two people and consumes a little more than 1 kw-h per mile (cost: about 2½? at current utility rates in Florida). Twenty-five hundred CitiCars are expected to come off the assembly line...
Legal Sparring. But then he pulled some taut strings- on it. The President said that he would not allow anyone "to cart everything that is in the White House down to a committee and to have them paw through it on a fishing expedition."

St. Clair complained that the committee seemed to be asking for "hundreds of thousands of documents and thousands of hours of recorded conversations covering the widest variety of subjects." He suggested that...
...come to the town and taken up the carpenter's trade and produced all this strange variety of ornament: the rising (or setting?) sun shape, the cart-wheel, the star pattern, the pagoda like shapes or one we just called the Spruce St. Variety. There's probably a folk-art monograph and foundation grant in it: "Varieties of the Eave Ornament in the Southeastern U.S. 1880-1920." With color pictures. Out of boredom we began classifying types and snapping a few pictures--to the disbelief and irritation of women on porches who thought we were photographing something going on behind...
