...rehabilitation of Richard Nixon, though still in its infancy, is a frightening enough prospect to merit some serious attention even now. Gone are the "Honk If You Think He's Guilty" bumper stickers, given way to advertisements for RN, Nixon's slickly self-serving autobiography; vanished are the chanting, cheering crowds that streamed through the streets of Washington to celebrate on a hot summer night four years ago, replaced by the thousand or so who cheered the man like a hero out of exile when he visited Hardin. Ky. last week. The cheers are not loud, but they are insistent...
...been a long time since the Argentines had had anything to honk and wave flags about, and if they could not cheer a win, they would cheer a loss or a kiss-your-sister draw. For one thing, Argentina's inflation rate during the past year has been a staggering 170%-highest in the world. More important, the Argentines have survived-most of them-a decade in which the disastrous Juan Peron returned from 18 years in exile to spread economic and political chaos. It has been a time in which the left-wing Montoneros murdered, kidnaped, tortured...
Jones wheeled around behind Treasury, looking approvingly at the tourists all lined up to visit the White House. "Honk, honk," went a car.

Though known to be rich, the plump, white-haired widow, 66, lived modestly, seldom venturing beyond the chain-link fence that guarded her weed-choked, three-acre property. Delivery men were instructed to stop on the street, honk, then pass their parcels to her over the fence. Lights blazed in the beige stone house day and night. When Mrs. Jackson did appear, her talk was a litany of paranoia. She cussed out other residents for complaining about her trash on the roadside. The doorknobs in her house were...
...credibility by listing his birth date in Who's Who as Oct. 2, 1928, when he was actually born on Oct. 2, 1925. As adamantly as Harry S. Truman, he has refused to disclose his middle name-possibly because Schuette rhymes with "snooty" in Missouri honk. His father, Carl Felker, now 82, was a veteran newsman who became the editor of the immensely successful Sporting News (circ. 330,000). Carl Felker never won a single share of stock in Sporting News, a failure that still weighs on Clay's mind. When Clay was eight, he started...
