...social functions pretty much run themselves. Mrs. Carpenter coped with staggering demands for invitations and information from all over the world. She also worked out an embargo system and a schedule of minutia-laden releases in order to control the flow of information. Last week's wedding-cake handout was replete with detail, down to the birthplace of Pastry Chef Ferdinand Louvat (Grenoble) and the treatment of each seedless white raisin (soaked until plump) allowed into the cake...

...editors of the New York Times, the story obviously seemed significant. It began with more than half a column on the front page and carried over to a full page inside. Written by Times Washington Bureau Chief Tom Wicker, the piece was based on a handout: a statement calling for a more liberalized U.S. policy toward Communist China, including eventual diplomatic recognition and admission to the United Nations. Wicker emphasized that the statement had been signed by "198 academic experts on China," all of whom belong to the Association for Asian Studies. Happy to have so many experts agreeing with...

...Rumanian Folk Ballet, performing in Washington, D.C., danced even less: 13 of their 19 numbers were vocal or orchestral. The dancers traded on speed, unflagging vigor and, as a handout from the Rumanian Embassy advised, smiles that "always blossom on the cheeks of our people."

For a finale, a panpiper let loose with a spirited version of Yankee Doodle, which brought smiles...

...Hotel, better known to gourmets as the old Ambassador (and soon to be torn down for an office building). By last week Haller's security clearance was in, and the White House announced his appointment. He was immediately enmeshed in the big blender of bureaucracy. The White House handout changed his first name to plain old Henry, and Liz Carpenter, Lady Bird's press aide, ordered him not to talk to reporters...

That was putting it mildly. In autocratic Otto's years as lord high executioner of foreign aid bills, the chairman of his parent committee had been Missouri's curmudgeonly Clarence Cannon, another handout hater, who gave Passman a free hand to slash as he saw fit. But when Cannon died last year, the House Appropriations chairmanship went to Texas' George Mahon, a middle-of-the-road Democrat, who set about taming the Tartar. Though he let Passman stay on as chairman of the subcommittee, he pared it from eleven to nine members, most of whom favor foreign...
