...owned stations Interviews with John Kenneth Galbraith, Gloria Steinem, Halston, Robert Coles, Peter Benchley and Rudolf Nureyev. If successful, they could earn Lee her own talk show. For 2½ minutes on the evening news last week Lee, dressed with unrelenting chic and speaking in a throaty mid-Atlantic drawl, questioned Rudi about his life and work. The concept, explained a CBS spokesman, was to cover a single thought each time. The most provoking idea occurred to Lee in the fourth session. "Do you think you'll ever get married?" she asked a startled Rudi. Replied Rudi reprovingly...
...dark, carefully combed hair looking a bit sheepish for covering his ears, face full of a quiet pride and the air of hanging back a bit on the vocals in favor of his accomplished banjo--and his sons. One of them, who introduced the songs, has a pleasant Dylanesque drawl to his voice, and both of them can, as they say, play the flat flip out of a guitar. The audience got off most on the inevitable Foggy Mountain Breakdown, and on Friday they finally made the Revue come back twice to face those massed lights and hanging planters...

He has remained scrupulously open-minded. Jaworski puts it this way, in his soft-spoken Texas drawl: "At my stage of life, do you think I would come in here and be part of anything that would ruin whatever name and reputation I have established over the years...
Moving through the crowd, the white-haired, chunky, effervescent lawyer works as hard as a campaign politician. A crunching squeeze of the arm for one man, a glad-handshake for the next, hugs for all the wives. Then, with his back-country Florida drawl, he exhorts his fellow attorneys-this time about the need to weed out incompetent practitioners perhaps, even by requiring periodic retesting of lawyers. It is all said with an ingratiating charm and leavened with warming phrases about law as the "major bulwark between man and his government." At the finish, there is a loud ovation...
