...Constant Grin. Now, once again, Vidal shows exceptional promise in a new literary line. His reviews and essays do not, of course, rock the boat enough to alarm the passengers. But to politics, for instance, Vidal brings the useful viewpoint of a fascinated outsider-insider (he is the grandson of the late Thomas P. Gore of Oklahoma, U.S. Senator from 1907 to 1937, and in 1960 he himself ran for Congress as a Democrat in a Republican upstate New York district). He observes that since F.D.R. set the fashion, all U.S. politicians must grin constantly in public; he recalls having...
...honorary degree winners, including U.S. Secretary of State Dean Rusk. But only after he had been handed his Doctor of Letters degree for having given "the greatest pleasure to so many people for so many years'' did British-born Comedian Charlie Chaplin, 73, relax in a toothy grin.

Daintily, deliberately, he stroked the ball toward the hole. When it plunked safely into the cup, he permitted himself a change of expression-a boyish grin and tip of his cap to the crowd. With that putt, at 22 and in his first year as a professional golfer, burly Jack Nicklaus had won the biggest golf tournament of them all: the U.S. Open...
...biggest yuk to hit television since Sid Caesar's salad wilted is a Goofy-Cousin-Clara sort of a girl with a grin full of teeth, a manner both tentative and brash, and a talent that comes bubbling up every time she opens her big mouth, shakes a leg, or crosses an eye. Carol Burnett, 29, who last week shared the podium with Julie Andrews in a TV special called Julie and Carol at Carnegie Hall, has a warmth that neither coaxial cable nor gloom of darkened living room can dim. She is even funny away from the camera...
