...rigidly honest onetime mayor of Saigon, and Phen Khac Suu, 62, former chief of state and present Speaker of the Constituent Assembly. But both men were left in the dust by Truong Dinh Dzu, a plump 50-year-old lawyer with a fiery McCarthylike gift of rhetorical invective. In fervent measure, Dzu attacked both Thieu and Ky as he campaigned on a peace platform. Coming in second, he pulled 17% of the vote, as against Suu's 13% and Huong...
...with the Communists. Another law partner was Mme. Nhu's brother, Tran Van Khiem. It was a profitable alliance for both men since the Diem family connections gave them an inside track with judges and the police. Along the way, Dzu visited the U.S. and became such a fervent Rotary Club member that he served a stint as Rotary director for all southeast Asia. He always wears his Rotary Club...
...Bishop of California last September, there was some hope that he might prove a little less of a headlinemaker than his resigning predecessor, James A. Pike. No such luck.

He catalogued Long's friendships with Missouri Teamsters, his excessively fervent praise for Hoffa at a Miami Beach Teamster convention last year, his subcommittee's apparent fascination with whether federal agents had illegally bugged telephone conversations between Hoffa and one of his lawyers-a charge that, if proven by the committee, might possibly have freed Hoffa...
Musty & Misty. By contrast, much of the Royal Ballet production looked musty as well as misty. Yet in the fervent fluidity of their corps de ballet, and particularly in the incandescent performances of Nureyev and Margot Fonteyn, the Londoners had an asset that the Ballet Theater version, ably danced as it was, could not match. Dame Margot, 48 this week, has distilled the Odette-Odile role to a consummate purity. She did not seem to project it so much as to be devoured by it, until it was almost impossible, in Yeats's words, to "know the dancer from...
