...Nixon campaign aides will take second-echelon White House posts. John Whitaker, 41, a former oil-company geologist who handled scheduling for the candidate, will become secretary to the Cabinet. Harry Flemming, 28, who was Nixon-Agnew co-chairman in Virginia and is now helping to recruit sub-Cabinet officials, will become a special assistant for personnel and liaison man to the Civil Service Commission. Flemming owns four weekly newspapers in Northern Virginia and is vice president of a Washington electronics company. His father, Arthur Flemming, was Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare under Dwight Eisenhower...
...roles of wartime admirals and diplomats in the movie, to be released worldwide by 20th Century-Fox about a year from now. But why put businessmen in those parts? For a very practical reason, says Director Akira Kurosawa (Rashomon, Seven Samurai), who is handling the Japanese portion of the co-production with U.S. moviemakers: there were few if any professional actors available who looked and acted like the nail-hard World War II militarists of Japan. Then Kurosawa figured that running the Imperial Japanese war machine was not so different from running the country's large businesses. Only high...
...toughest role to cast was that of the top seadog, Admiral Yamamoto, who engineered the Pearl Harbor attack and is still a hero to many Japanese. The part finally went to an ex-army private, Takeo Kagitani, who is now the 56-year-old president of Takachiho Trading Co. (1967 sales: $27.7 million). Kagitani had no trouble getting a leave from his board. He owns some 90% of the stock in his com pany, which imports Burroughs business machines. The executive cropped his hair in the military style and visited Yamamoto's grave near Tokyo to offer his prayers...
...Free," the author of this disjointed but somehow engaging nonbook, is in reality Abbie Hoffman, 32, the wire-haired co-founder of the yippie movement. A self-described "nice Jewish boy from The Bronx" who attended Brandeis and Berkeley, then worked in Mississippi for S.N.C.C. before dropping into hippiedom, Hoffman has now produced a slender, acid-infused account of the rise of the nonviolent yippies. The book trips along almost gaily on currents of aphorism and imagination. Between its often outrageous put-ons and put-downs lies much that is of significance to American youth-and those adults who would...
...Co-Optation and Copulation. By the spring of 1968, hippies had realized that Flower Power was dead. The Diggers, those altruistic dispensers of free food and medicine, had largely disbanded, LSD had given way to methedrine, and the crash pads echoed to the frenetic screams of "speed freaks"; the grisly murder of "Groovy" Hutchinson and Linda Fitzpatrick cast a pall over hippiedom. Only a small band of the movement's founders and gurus, including Hoffman, chose to form a political link with the ideological New Left. The result was the Youth International Party (YIP), which was founded at least...
