There is no statutory permanent staff at the White House. But few new Presidents could easily survive in the 132-room mansion without its nonpartisan hired help. Thus, White House Calligrapher Sandy Fox will doubtless be busy scrawling banknote script on thousands of invitations for Nixon state dinners, as he has since the early days of John Kennedy's Administration, and Curator James Ketchum will continue to watch over the White House art and china collections...

Some doctors insist that the knees of all youngsters who turn out for football in high school should be examined so that the weak and injury-prone can be weeded out. But the prescription of choice is one the patient is not likely to take...
