Washington gossips are wont to make unkind jokes about "Plastic Pat, the Wind-Up Doll." But Pat Nixon has paid them no heed. Pat, backed up by Daughters Tricia and Julie, made the rounds of wounded servicemen at Honolulu's Tripler General Hospital. She was completely relaxed with the G.I.s, who were as impressed with her as they were with Julie's interest and enthusiasm and Tricia's flowing golden tresses. The Nixon ladies then returned to Washington, but not for long. Pat leaves on a three-day trip to California and the Pacific Northwest this week...

"I'm afraid the student violence will end up dampening the movement for us," said 20-year...
...metaphysics recalls the warning that mysticism begins with mist and ends in schism. In his soft-centered drama of sex as destroyer and healer, the once promising film maker sedulously apes D. H. Lawrence, whom he seems to have both studied and misunderstood. In the future, Pasolini might well heed an earlier author, whose Sonnet 94 could have been addressed to artists who inflict private fantasies on their public...
