Then there is Mary McCarthy, 19, the Senator's intense, freckle-faced second daughter. A sophomore government major at Radcliffe until she took a leave of absence last winter to work in the campaign, Mary is more than campaign froufrou, as she proves at coffee conferences by ranging through the war, the gold flow, the draft ("First of all, eliminate General Hershey") and alternatives to her father ("It's a pretty awful choice"). Ellen McCarthy, 20, will pitch in after her exams at the Georgetown University School of Foreign Service. The youngest McCarthy, the Senator's self...

...warns "If you are looking for naked tootsies, the Horseshoe is not your cup of tea" (but slyly suggests that the girls are more tempting the way they're dressed). He recommends the Italian war movie Open City and ponders the perfume business ("We're both selling froufrou and sex but their advertising makes mine look like Sunday School stuff...
