He suggested tax reforms, but would prefer to maintain the oil-depletion allowance. He began calling home troops from Viet Nam, yet keeps the level of withdrawal so small that the actual U.S. military presence there is substantially unaffected...

Still, to avoid "a hassle," Arlo Guthrie and Jackie Hyde, 25, will soon take the vows-possibly in the deconsecrated Stockbridge, Mass, church that was his home in the film Alice's Restaurant. The balladeer-song-writer met his "very groovy chick" while performing in Los Angeles at the Troubadour Cafe, where she was serving tables. "She has the same philosophy I have," he says.
