Advice and Consent. The inaugural ballgown cinched the job. A deep yellow satin formal designed by Harvey Berin, the dress was warm enough (with matching jacket) to be worn outside, festive enough for the occasion (with embroidery and beading), comfortable enough (with an easy, straight skirt) and photogenic enough (with simple, straight lines) to win Mrs. Nixon's wholehearted approval. The fashion industry was less enthusiastic. "A dress for the mother of the bride," sneered Designer Chester Weinberg. "A schoolteacher on her night out," snipped Mollie Parnis...
...into his face than when one never sees him" [Dec. 5]. I seem to remember that Eichmann and other administrators of the "final solution" had little taste for witnessing the outcome of their executive orders. If only because the authority for acts of state ultimately resides in the broad consent of the people, we must apply to ourselves the same rule that we have with such grave innocence applied to criminals of war in the past.

But from this intriguing negative nothing develops. Gleason merely settles in for an extended Honeymooners skit, swinging on the billingsgate with his wife and rolling fried-egg eyes skyward at every silence...
...handling the painter's helpers issue, the University has gone through a baffling series of twists and turns. We have heard at various times that L.Gard Wiggins, administrative vice president of the University, could promote the helpers with one phone call; then that he could not without the consent of the Union; then that Harvard was willing to let a three-man panel from the black Contractors Association of Boston decide the helpers' case, apparently without the union; and now the administration has agreed to add three OBU representatives to that panel. The University seems to have been dodging...
