...getting married" replaced "hello" last week in the telephone vocabulary of Jacqueline Kennedy's secretarial staff. The new salutation was pressed into service as a result of headlined rumors that Jackie was about to marry Lord Harlech, 49, former ambassador to Washington and Jackie's companion on her recent trip to Cambodia. Come the weekend, lady and lord were 3,000 miles apart, he in London and she on the ski slopes of Quebec's Mont Tremblant with Caroline and young John. The big crowds at Tremblant left Jackie to herself, but Lord Harlech was bugged...
...companion volume of sorts is The Tower of Babel, a spy novel about Middle East tensions in the period just before the Six-Day War; it has no faults except that it is neither tense nor in any way Middle Eastern. The wily Lebanese banker, the fanatic Syrian colonel, the Israeli undercover agent and his trusty Damascan mistress all speak as if their lines had been written for them by-to pick an absurd example-a plonking Australian novelist named Morris West, author of The Shoes of the Fisherman.

Beside the overly saccharine Sithium, the 8-in. by 6-in. miniature by De Flandes is indeed a gem of sprightly precision...
...German shepherd has served this country well in peace and war and he will survive this attack by you. I doubt that 100,000 of this nation's blind will turn on the companion who gives them guidance. Neither will the U.S. Army stop buying the shepherd to protect our soldiers in Viet Nam from the surprise onslaughts of the Viet Cong. Neither will I forget that a shepherd saved the life of my eldest son. Should I tell my little girl, aged 8, that she can't take our shepherd for a walk after school? Should...
