...also may not quickly recover from the matter of Judge Clement Haynsworth's financial affairs. With Eisenhower's old dictum about being "clean as a hound's tooth" as a possible rationalization, the Administration helped nudge Abe Fortas off the Supreme Court. Now, because of the casual approach that Attorney General John Mitchell took, Nixon finds himself on the defensive over the Haynsworth nomination. Those who believe that a judge should be above suspicion may be forgiven if they view both men through one lens...
...probably too much to expect that the military could return to the casual, off-the-cuff talk as a substitute for the prepared briefing. To begin with, the Army would no doubt have as much trouble disposing of all its audio-visual gadgets as it has dumping its excess nerve gas. More of them, unfortunately, are yet to come. The services have begun purchasing a new computer that briefs automatically without the aid of human voice or hand. At the push of a button, curtains part to reveal a screen, and the show goes on.

Few are aware of it, but it is these casual friendships that are one of the millstones around the Cliffie's neck. Watch out for casual friends? Your casual friend is the girl who tells you she is about to start piano lessons...
...parties on the Lusaka diplomatic circuit, Zambian President Kenneth Kaunda often pointed to Vice President Simon Kapwepwe, his close friend since boyhood, and said fondly: "Look, there goes my revolutionary!" It was no casual sobriquet. A bearded, conspiratorial-looking firebrand who wears black and purple togas and carries an outsized walking stick, Kapwepwe was a militant nationalist leader as one of Kaunda's colleagues in the fight for independence from Britain. In a recent about-face, he became Kaunda's chief rival for political power. Last week Kapwepwe more than lived up to Kaunda's billing...
