...guide runs from James Abourezk, (Ab-urr-esk), Democratic Senator from South Dakota, to John Zwach (rhymes with clock), Republican Rep resentative from Minnesota. In between are Schneebeli (Shnay-ble), Republican Representative from Pennsylvania, and Kluczynski (Kloo-chin-skee), Dem ocratic Representative from Illinois. Especially rich-sounding are the Gs in the House. Among them: Gaydos (Gay-duss), Pennsylvania Democrat; Giaimo (Gy-moe), Connecticut Democrat; Gubser (Goob-ser), Republican from California; and Gude (Goo-dee), Republican from Maryland. The only of fice that has remained impervious to the phonetic assault is, of course, the presidency itself. But Spiro Agnew...
...weak a word for Jack's foils. With the force of a Miltonic devil, he strides to his inherited seat in the House of Lords. At a fox hunt Jack incenses the party with a bellow for a hangman's society and leads them on to the slaughter with "Dem Bones" -- the first instance where the vaudevillian flavor leaves a sour after-taste (that is made still less delectable by a tasteless little shot of the fox, smugly relieving himself on a tree trunk.

...privileged morality. He lays his ironies on with a trowel and drives his points home with a bludgeon. The direction is uneven.

He also persists in having his films wretchedly photographed. The Ruling Class looks as if it were shot under floodlights...
Death Revealed. Erich von dem Bach-Zelewsky, 73, the Nazi SS general responsible for crushing the Polish resistance; of heart disease; in Munich on March 8. A close aide to Adolf Hitler, Bach-Zelewsky rose to the wartime command of the German forces combatting resistance movements in Eastern Europe. When the Warsaw underground rose in revolt in 1944, Bach-Zelewsky's forces slaughtered over 100,000 Poles and leveled 90% of the city. He escaped punishment by becoming a prosecution witness at the Nuremberg trials and testifying against his former SS comrades. In 1962, however, he was convicted...
...particularly satisfying coup for the Republicans, as the President's measures were in several cases neatly lifted from the proposals of his Democratic critics. Not only did he take the Democrats' advice, but he also used as his authority for a key order legislation that the Dem ocrats had forced upon him (see box, page 8). And the stakes were high. His trip to China is almost certain to bring him political rewards, but come Elec tion Day 1972, mending the nation's pocketbook could pay off at the polls as Peking never would...
