...implicitly the beneficiary, of Kuntze's dealings. The prosecution quoted the defendant as saying: "I did it all for Jannie." Kuntze volunteered that he had "contemplated matrimony" with Miss Suen, but maintained that the pleasure of her company was justified by her role as interpreter and "unofficial hostess." The defense intimated that Kuntze was being made a scapegoat by a "long arm in a civilian sleeve"-presumably the State Department-for the massive diversion of U.S. supplies into Saigon's black market...
...though J. Edgar Hoover rises early to cook Sunday-morning popovers, Almaden Vineyards President Louis Benoist perfects his crab gumbo, or Actor Burgess Meredith spends hours concocting his "All Mighty Salad," the brunt of cooking and planning still remains the woman's task.

What delights the curiosity seekers are the same things that enthralled the Chief...
Lisa Baker, November's Playmate and the official hostess of the show, was some improvement over the folk singer. Dressed, she drew a listless crowd who sheepishly accepted autographed photos of her face. Most of the men looked like they'd rather get their kicks from the cars; witness this quick exchange between two who passed the Bunny...
