...Sherwoods have not one but two TV sets, and soon the face of Nina van Pallandt, Irving's elegant traveling companion in Mexico, blossoms on both screens. Edith leans forward to watch with aggressive intentness. "She's going to be on David Frost and David Susskind," someone says. Marmon: "Will she sing or talk?" Sher wood: "She'll sing. She can't talk. She's too stupid...
...sense, Ginzburg was a man ahead of the legal times. Eros, his slick, expensively produced "quarterly on the joys of love," was mildly startling in the early '60s, as was its companion biweekly "newsletter of love," Liaison, and a mail-order volume called The Housewife's Handbook on Selective Promiscuity.

JJ drags him to an elevator, then flees in fright. The body lies inert across the doorway, the arms flexing up over the chest and relaxing as the automatic door tries again and again...
ASSIGNING Henry Kissinger the role of secret agent seems about as plausible as expecting Raquel Welch to stroll down Fifth Avenue in a bikini unrecognized. One of the most photographed men in public life, ostentatious companion of beautiful women, encumbered everywhere with a bodyguard and dogged by some of the nation's ablest reporters, President Nixon's national security chief by all odds ought to have difficulty even escaping to the men's room unnoticed. Yet in the latest of his TV spectaculars, Nixon revealed last week that Henry has been at it again, with a regularity that makes even...
