...both relaxing tensions and yet remaining tough with Moscow. Legitimate questions can be raised about the manner in which he has executed the policy, but there is little serious basic disagreement with its aims. Yet attacks on it have deteriorated to demagogic slogans. Other Kissinger troubles grow from his habit of making off-the-rec-ord remarks that seem to conflict with his public statements-remarks that almost invariably get distorted when leaked. A case in point is his speech to an assembly of U.S. ambassadors in London last December. There he argued that American efforts to foster "stability...
Flying Down to Rio is more than an old movie to Singer-Actress Raquel Welch, 33. It's becoming a habit. During her nightclub tour of South America in February, Raquel showed up at Rio's carnival on the elbow of Paulo Pil-la, 32, a former public relations man.

All that was interesting, but what really pulled me there on Friday and Saturday nights when my friends had dates was the music. In every...
...possible to believe that such a strong reaction to the printed word is peculiar to Philadelphia. Rizzo has built a substantial machine which includes the police and trade unions as components. The nation's press, however, has a habit of sharing intimidation. And if Philadelphia's newspapers, out of fear of recriminations, start letting the chips fall in Rizzo's favor, it's possible that other politicians may also begin to prefer the mob to the letter to the editor...
