Leather Aardvarlc. Police zeal for law enforcement has been highly selective. Cops have ignored the crew-cut "straight" toughs who prey on hippies. Seven hippies were recently shotgunned from a moving car and hospitalized, only to have police drag six of them to jail for disturbing the peace. So far, no shooting suspects have been arrested. Last month a hippie cooperative store was firebombed. Susie and Ron Jarvis, owners of a craft shop called The Leather Aardvark, claim snipers put 27 bullet holes in the front of their store. When Ron complained to police, he was arrested for shooting back...

Later, Palme adopted a low silhouette; realizing that Erlander was contemplating quitting and that the top job was within reach, he cut back on his TV exposure, tidied up his once sloppy style of dress, even tamed his cowlick...
...years as a TV star, he kept the censors working overtime, cutting out his gamy wisecracks. Now just past his 74th birthday, Groucho Marx is still demonstrating an undiminished capacity for the leering remark. "Would you pull your skirt down?" he asked a coed at a college film seminar in Los Angeles. "It's very distracting, even at my age." Then Groucho called the students' attention to a scene in his 1935 movie A Night At the Opera. As con man Otis B. Driftwood, he was carrying Margaret Dumont's luggage up a gangplank. "Have...
