...Daniel Glenn of Jacksonville, wife of a Navy pilot shot down four days before Christmas 1966: "All along the President has been hiding under the shield of bringing the men back. Now that there's an opportunity to do so, he's shirking it." Mrs. Robert Fuller, also of Jacksonville, has another view of Administration reaction to demands for a withdrawal date: "I think I would begin to resent the P.O.W.s very much if I had an 18-year-old son who was just saying goodbye. This is why I resent the President giving the people the attitude...
...insistence that the U.S. "can't absolutely abandon our national objectives to pay ransom." The deferential briefings from Presidential Adviser Henry Kissinger and Secretary of Defense Melvin Laird are recalled by some with bitterness. How many P.O.W. families share the disenchantment is impossible to determine.

...think has sex appeal? asked London's Sunday Times Magazine, as it began a daisy chain of nominations with Supermodel Jean Shrimpton, 27. She picked Architect Buckminster Fuller, 75 ("I particularly like his geodesic domes"). Fuller picked Ballerina Dame Margot Fonteyn, 51 ("I have been unable to divest myself of an awareness-not induced by others -that she is of the opposite sex"). And so on, to Rockster Mick Jagger, 27, and his surprise choice: Actor-Author Noel Coward, 71 (no reason given). Coward, too, had a bit of a surprise for his friends. "I should have liked...
