...making a pact with White House Social Secretary Lucy Winchester, he has contrived to be seated next to the most beautiful women at presidential dinners, even though protocol would normally demand that he sit with the visiting dignitaries. At the state dinner for South Korea's President Chung Hee Park in San Francisco, Kissinger wound up beside Zsa Zsa Gabor. Occasionally, he turns up with Gloria Steinem, the smashing-looking Gucci liberal who writes for New York Magazine. "He's terribly intelligent and funny," says Gloria. "He really understood Bobby Kennedy, and that made me know...

...have resolved to bear the cross upon my back once more for the nation, forsaking my own personal comforts." With those words, South Korea's President Chung Hee Park earlier this month launched his campaign for a constitutional amendment that would give him a third four-year term. Any similarity between his plight and the march to Calvary, however, was purely coincidental. From all reports, Park has been quite comfortable in the "Blue House," Korea's presidential palace...

Extraordinary Nielsen. Emerging as the real stars of Hee Haw are some of the previously unknown supporting players, who are less polished rustics. Stringbean, the emaciated chap who appears with the puppet crow on his shoulder, can barely read, according to friends, and has to be taught lines by his wife. Junior Samples, the fat man (275 Ibs.), professed to have nothing to wear but his "Sunday overalls" at a CBS celebration party. Introduced to a key network executive-"Junior, this is the vice president"-Junior ingenuously responded: "Hello, Mr. Agnew...

...party was a bit uncomfortable for Junior, but despite "The trouble with some of the words I'd never heered before," he says, "I'd like to do it again some time." Undoubtedly, he will get the chance. As a summer substitute, Hee Haw will go off the air Sept. 7, but its extraordinary Nielsen rating makes the show a likely CBS replacement for January dropouts. Apparently, many American viewers are fed up with the "crisis of the cities" programming that fills the TV news, and are seeking solace in the eternal verities -and inanities-of the country...
