Bacharach and Guitars. Haldeman's dedication to work carries over into his private life. Like Nixon, he is a stereo music fan, and prefers to work at home for an hour or two each evening with Burt Bacharach or guitar music in the background. Photography is his passion. He began shooting movies of the President and big state events last year with a camera he bought in a Bonn PX, and has since virtually filmed Nixon's every step.

...Bert Lahr's cowardly-lion suit from The Wiz ard of Oz and $1,250 for Clark Gable's battered trenchcoat. Grace Kelly's gowns from The Swan were a fire-sale bargain at $150 and less, but another nameless fan had to go to $15,000 for Judy Garland's red slippers from Oz. As the bidding spiraled around him, Actor Jack Cassidy said, "I'll be lucky to get a spear from Ben-Hur." As it turned out, he didn't even get that...

INSECTICIDES have created a particular problem for entomologists at the Bio Labs. When an organic phosphate insecticide was sprayed in the Laboratory's greenhouse last year, it drified into a ventilation fan and wiped out a colony of silk moths in another room. Ironically, these moths were part of a study on moth development and hormones-a project that may lead to a safer class of insecticides...
