...midst of a recent radio interview by Liberal Columnist Nat Hentoff, William F. Buckley Jr., the elegantly acerbic conservative commentator, suddenly stopped short the colloquy, looked down, and testily muttered, "Shut up." Moments later he paused and clonked something below. Left-wing kibitzers in the studio audience? No, Buckley's target was his King Charles spaniel Rowley, which he had brought to the studio. Showing that he bore no ill will, Rowley then jumped into Buckley's .lap and planted a slurpy kiss on his cheek. All of which left Hentoff with somewhat more of an interview than...
...Voice (circ. 150,000) has earnestly chronicled the peculiarities of New York City life, its iconoclastic eye quick to spot problems of the underdog. Unremittingly quarrelsome, wordy and underedited, the Voice also captures the funky, ingrown perspective of Greenwich Village. Its reviewers, including such first-rate critics as Nat Hentoff and Andrew Sarris, dig up underground entertainment far from Broadway or first-run moviehouses. Columns by Militant Lesbian Jill Johnston flow endlessly, devoid of all punctuation, capitalization and-usually-sense...

...Project X" team-as they were dubbed-worried about losing the story. Village Voice Writer Nat Hentoff had run an item about a "breakthrough" war story, and it was believed that the Washington Post was on to the Pentagon study. For seven weeks the team worked seven days a week, often past midnight; in all, some 30 Times staff members were eventually involved. Gold saw his family only five times during the period. Sheehan, who has a bad back, took daily walks in the beginning; but as deadline time neared, had even given up sleeping. The last push was provided...
Some of those who made the list spoke indignantly, in the words of Nat Hentoff, of "selective repression." Most met inclusion with scorn. Jessica Mitford vowed to "add it to my list of awards and honors in Who's Who." One of the more intriguing facts in the report was that the speakers had earned a total of $108,000 so far in campus lecture fees, showing that radicalism can be profitable. In fact, the blacklisting probably made them still more desirable as campus speakers...
