...tape recorder. "It was a good thing I did," says Fischer. "Although Mrs. Mitchell was suffering from a cold, we talked for 41 hours." Another recorder was on hand two days later when Fischer, Correspondent Bonnie Angelo, Researcher Amanda Macintosh and Writer Douglas Auchincloss met Republican Martha Mitchell and Democrat Barbara Howar for a discussion on women and power in Washington. Characteristically candid, Martha fired off some observations about TIME'S cover team. Researcher Macintosh, who lives in Manhattan, was obviously "too sweet to come from New York." As for leonine Writer Auchincloss, Martha thought he could well pass...
...political half time for Richard Nixon. Coming off a relatively bad second quarter culminating in the Democratic gains of Nov. 3, Nixon has already begun rejiggering his offense for the drive to his own re-election two years hence. He has yet to announce any formal changes in the first-team lineup, but his lieutenants are gesturing frantically from the bench. At a breakfast meeting with some 15 newsmen last week, one important Nixon aide let it be known that as many as three Cabinet officers will soon be pulled out for good.

...central figure in the committee vote was Senator Fred Harris of Oklahoma, a very dark-horse Democratic aspirant for a 1972 presidential nomination.

Senator Philip Hart, a diligent liberal Democrat but not a household name, made a bid to become one: 1 showed up with the first beard in the Senate in 31 years-the payoff on an election bet on himself. He had intended to keep his bristles hidden 1 northern Michigan, but the special session flushed...
...contingent of permanent "summer bachelors." But the motivated men of Government cannot afford to take three-hour lunches, and the traditional cinq-a-sept is out of the question for a 12-to 15-hour-day man. By all accounts, the sexual quotient of Republican Washington is low. The Democrats of the Kennedy and Johnson years?relaxed, open, pleased with themselves?were more insouciant about sex, as about everything else. They drank more and stayed up later and talked more about sex, and very likely did more about it than the Nixonians do. But compared with other capitals...
