Looking like a cross between Dick Cavett and Peter Fonda, he bounds down the slopes with agility. But he racks up whenever he has to say lines - which, as luck would have it, is often. Waxing romantic or working out plans for an elaborate robbery, Jean-Claude always manages to sound as if he were making a half hearted pitch for Chap Stick...
...Howard Hughes caper has blasted Nina van Pallandt off to stardom. The Danish singer and actress has done her fetching thing on the Dick Cavett and David Frost shows.

The next morning Herbert was upbraided by a superior for saluting improperly. In the meantime, Herbert, who kept up appeals to reverse his unfavorable report, finally won exoneration from Secretary of the Army Robert F. Froehlke last month, four months before he would have been forced into involuntary retirement...
...stood by while his men beat five or six other civilians. An Army chaplain reported a conversation with Herbert: "He made a very imprudent public statement that 'I'll lie about anything to get what I want.'" Three lieutenant colonels requested an appearance on the Dick Cavett Show to refute Herbert's allegations of unfair treatment, and were turned down. One of them, Lieut. Colonel Ken Accousti, former operations officer of the 173rd Airborne Brigade, questioned Herbert's truthfulness: "I got so that I couldn't believe anything Herbert reported from the field...
