...Smooth. For hulking Gough (rhymes with cough) Whitlam, 56, the campaign was his second since taking over the Labor Party leadership in 1967. Smoother in garb and in gab than most of his country's politicians, Whitlam sometimes strikes down-to-earth Aussies as being too smooth by half. One of his own party members complains that he is a "distinctly middle-class intellectual with both a prickly personality and a captious turn of mind." He also has a renowned temper.

...received written evidence from makers of autos, electric shavers, TV sets, air conditioners, dentifrices, hearing aids, detergents, tires and cough remedies. Most of it has been placed in the FTC's eleven region al offices, where consumer groups can examine it.

...rehearsal Guy has prowled around, checking on the final details, encouraging the cast to keep it fresh and not to forget what they've perfected, concentrating on keeping his own voice in tune. Although ultimately confident, he continues to worry (Sore throats menace both Patty and him. She pops cough drops while he swigs from a bottle of honey.) When on Tuesday Guy stopped the opening chorus to change a lighting cue, Curt had turned to the girls and said.
