...RICKARD, 57, a former lumberjack and World War II fighter pilot who sold insurance before joining Hughes as an $80-a-week driver two decades ago. His first job was to chauffeur the flock of Hughes' starlets. He went into the movie business himself with a drive-in theater in Idaho but returned to the Hughes fold after it failed. Rickard is a convert to Mormonism...
...sorry streets of the stricken city there was of a sudden great exultation and praise unto the Lord. Young men dreamed lusty dreams, while the elders spake of a day at hand when multitudes would flock from near and far to lavish shekels upon the once-more blessed shore. The place of Atlantis would be born again, said the prophets, as a citadel of many marvels, and it would be called Las Vegas East...
...minority party, the Republicans have a formidable flock of other vote getters, mostly young moderates. Tennessee's Howard Baker Jr., 50, the ranking Republican on the Senate Watergate committee, was passed over by Gerald Ford for the vice-presidential nomination-in what now seems to have been a blunder.

Women's Wear Daily promptly trumpeted the return of the mini. In fact, it is not. Skirt lengths, like their wearers, will continue to come in all altitudes. Neither do the new, higher-hemmed styles resemble the thigh-flashers of the hip-hugging mini revolution. Perhaps reacting to Paris' long, sizzling summer, the designers of the new short look have genu- flected toward...
...monotony. Director Hoving, who was obliged to step in as his own guest curator when the Met's curator of 20th century art, Henry Geldzahler, refused to touch the show, has given Wyeth the kind of treatment that only major draftsmen merit. Each painting is surrounded by a flock of its studies and sketches that reveal the working method, the small adjustments, tunings and abstractions that come between the first view and the final painting. If Wyeth were Rubens the spectacle would be fascinating. But since he seems to work upward from illustration and his capable brisk notes...
