Shattered Pride. Meanwhile, the army was assigned the unpleasant task of maintaining the peace. The soldiers, whose pride had been shattered by the 1971 defeat, once again found themselves taunted and reviled by demonstrators for supporting an unpopular government. "Zia, Zia, be-hiya [Zia, Zia, shameless]!" became a popular slogan against the army leader. Four brigadiers and several dozen field-grade officers in Lahore resigned rather than follow orders to fire on unruly mobs...
...tall silver-haired man striding down the Washington corridor could have been the sleek candidate for the U.S. presidency that he once seemed destined to become. "Hiya, John B.," said a passer-by with a warm slap on the shoulder. Despite such joviality, John B. Connally, 58, was heading toward U.S. District Judge George L. Hart's courtroom to face trial. The charges: accepting a $10,000 gratuity for influencing President Nixon to increase federal milk-price supports in 1971. Three times Governor of Texas, and Secretary of the Treasury under Nixon, Connally looked tense last week at what...
President Ford has not yet caught himself saying to his Vice President, "Short on the back and sides, please, and easy on the bear's grease."

His nomination for the vice presidency had been jeopardized by disclosures that he had given more than $2 million in loans and gifts to associates, most of them public...
String Southpaw. In public or private, Rockefeller has an exuberant lifestyle, as if great wealth has stimulated hyperbole of word and deed. He constantly says "terrific" and "great" when he really means "O.K." Everybody he greets becomes, momentarily at least, his friend. "Hiya fella!" he shouts, often because he does not remember the fella's name. He buys art the way he shakes hands: ebulliently, rather indiscriminately. Then he continually rearranges his paintings, shuffling them from home to home to suit his mood, sometimes putting up a new display just before the dinner guests arrive...
