...plane: from inside his suite in the New Senate Office Building could be heard the voice of the usually taciturn Proxmire singing Bill from the old musical Show Boat. His office reflects his personal style-sparsely furnished, its green walls completely devoid of pictures or decorations. The only homey touch is the hot plate used to make his breakfast at the office after his 4.8-mile run-not a jog-to the office and 200 pushups. At 55, Proxmire is nearly as fit as he was as an undergraduate boxer and football player at Yale...
...homey atmosphere of the hall is what appeals most to residents. "People here care about you," says Frank Torrisi, a third-year medical student. "They do nice things like giving you a good send-off in the morning." To a man, the residents feel Schuyler's benefits outweigh any drawbacks of its chaste and cloistered regulations-women are allowed only in the first-floor common rooms-which are set autocratically by Director Solarski and a three-man council.

In fact, as she amply demonstrated on her visit, Golda Meir is among the toughest, ablest and most zealous Zionists who ever lived. She repeatedly discounted all U.S.-Soviet efforts to find a solution to the dangerous Mideast crisis...
South Viet Nam's malleable Parliament had set the stage for Huong's removalby claiming that his economic and anticorruption policies were ineffective. To be sure, Huong was an indifferent administrator, a homey type who grows roses and readily admits: "I have never been a revolutionary." Moreover, he is aging (66) and ailing (asthma, rheumatism). Huong's personal shortcomings were not, however, what brought about his dismissal. Thieu, who had not bothered to consult his Premier about major issues for months, apparently wanted a man in whom he had complete confidence to help him through the next...
