...what it adds up to after the checks are spent is more like fatuous Frommer than fastidious Fielding. Just as Lucius Beebe and his private railway car made few if any sociological waves, so Fielding and his portable martini mixer are headed for inverted snobbism's dubious Hall of Fame. NORMAN READER Amagansett...
Police Detective Charles S. Stenvig, 41, an independent with a ragtag organization, rolled over Republican City Council President Dan Cohen. Stenvig took city hall with 62% of the vote, amassing majorities of up to 81% in working-class areas. Cohen, 33, a Harvard Law School graduate, had the backing of the city's powerful labor leaders and the endorsement of big names, including Richard Nixon and Minnesota Senator Eugene McCarthy.

In the Kremlin gardens, the beds of long-stemmed tulips and multicolored pansies were especially neatly tended, and squads of plainclothes security agents checked passes and guided the delegates to the huge hall. For several days, Brezhnev, Kosygin and other ranking officials shuttled to Moscow's four airports welcoming arriving delegations. For trusted comrades like East Germany's Walter Ulbricht and Mongolia's Yumzhagin Tsedenbal, there were Slavic smacks on the cheek. There were no kisses for the arriving Rumanians. Brezhnev proffered a perfunctory hand to Rumania's independent-minded President...
