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." And White House Barber Milton Pitts has not yet greeted his customer with "Hiya, fella!" Both could happen though. Pitts is a dead ringer for Nelson Rockefeller, who recently paid a visit to Pitts' shop to exchange pleasantries. "He looks exactly like me but he's better looking," agreed Rocky. Milton concentrated on planning a different crown for his potential new customer. "He needs to have completely different shaping...

But he was at his breezy best as he moved through the Senate committee room smiling broadly, shaking hands, slapping backs as if he did not have a care in the world, when in fact all that he had worked for in politics was at stake.

Pasternak gave Nicholson a script, and told him where to show up for the screen test. Nicholson looked the script over but did not realize that he was supposed to memorize his lines. The test was a disaster, and Nicholson was back...
Also under investigation, primarily for accepting payoffs, were 100 policemen who visited the trailer. In one passage on the tape, Vario is heard to remark as a cop approaches the trailer: "Here comes that greedy son of a bitch." Then, as the cop enters, Vario says warmly: "Hiya, pal!" The bugging of the trailer was supposedly made public, in fact, because a high-ranking police officer on the take tipped off Vario and his cronies to the telephone taps...
