Loosely mantled in a light top-coat, Frank Fisher was striding through Brattle Square with a Holy Bible under one arm and a steel saw under the other. Gesticulating with his ferocious tufted eyebrows if not with his burdened arms, Fisher was intoning in a cultivated midwestern drawl. "Don't characterize Frank Fisher as the director of the OGCP, Characterize him by what he had been, by the fact that he has left some place else." With that Fisher descended upon Sage's market and spun towards the back of the store where he found a fine red snapper...
Variety in view and routine is a relaxant. Ford now has an informal office just beyond the Oval Office. Unlike Nixon, this President frequently takes off his coat and works in shirtsleeves. His pipe is handy and in constant use. White House Physician William Lukash believes such little things reduce tedium and tension. Ford likes movies at night but sometimes flakes out. He fell asleep during a screening of The Sugarland Express but stayed the distance for Chinatown. There is an effort to introduce soothing potions of humor in the daily rituals. When Hollywood's gorgeous Candice Bergen...
...young artist from California. His name is Chris Burden, and though he is only 29, many consider him a sadhu. It is at the Ronald Feldman Gallery, a known place of refuge for distinguished fakirs like Joseph Bueys, who, unlike our own sadhus in India, wears a magnificent fur coat and chants mantras about "revolution" in order to expunge his sorrow for having flown a German airplane 30 years ago.

Suits emphasize the midriff too, with slim skirts, or skirts tucked to the hipbone, worn with jackets that skim the body closely. Jersey...
Trifles such as a deep freezer and a vicuna coat tainted the Truman and Eisenhower Administrations with charges of petty graft. So when one of President Nixon's speechwriters, William Safire, had an article accepted by the New York Times, he was advised by the President's counsel, John Dean, not to accept the $150 payment, as it might be construed as a conflict of interest. In his new book about the Nixon Administration, Before the Fall, a deadpan Safire-now a Times columnist-recalls his feeling at the time. "That was a good idea, I thought...
