Several Cabinet wives bring to the capital experience in community service, and in one case a considerable firsthand political background. Lenore Romney has campaigned effectively for her husband George both in Michigan and nationally; Barb Laird, on the other hand, says candidly: "I doubt if many political wives know much more about politics than I do, which is nothing." Both Mrs. Shultz, whose husband has been dean of the University of Chicago graduate business school, and Mrs. Clifford Hardin, married to the incoming Agriculture Secretary and ex-chancellor of the University of Nebraska, are used to the incessant social round...
Cadillacs and a Continental. The life style among the Cabinet families is as solid as mahogany and red brick. Bill Rogers drives a silvery-grey 1967 Cadillac convertible, though his wife Adele will probably take it over now that her husband has a chauffeur-driven official limousine. David Kennedy has a Chrysler Imperial. More improbably, Cliff Hardin breaks the academic mold to drive a Cadillac himself, and favors dark suits cut in the conservative style of a banker. Maurice Stans collects primitive African art. The Blounts own fine antiques and Oriental rugs; he drives a Jaguar, she a Continental...
Marge Piercy writes highly charged poems about death, sex, love and a wide range of other social experiences. Her perceptive eye can be tough and precise ("precinct house benches dark with the grease of fearful buttocks"). She can also be highly imaginative, portraying her husband, a mathematician, in deep thought...
Rough Challenge. The idea originated with a husband-wife team, Dr. Vincent P. Dole, a specialist in metabolic research at Rockefeller University, and Dr. Marie Nyswander, a psychiatrist. As a substitute for heroin, which may cost the addict $50 a day and is virtually certain to lead him to crime, they hit upon methadone. It is a synthetic painkiller, widely prescribed for cancer patients and for people who have undergone surgery. Such prescriptions are not renewable, since it is undeniably addicting. But physical dependence on methadone is less stubborn than that on heroin or other opium derivatives, and patients...
Instant Nose Job. White trappers, with their ingrained leaning toward monogamy and lingering romantic respect for womanhood, often made gentler husbands than Indian braves. Among the Blackfeet, for example, a woman caught in adultery by her Indian husband had to submit to an instant nose job, performed with a skinning knife. Many of the white traders were exceptionally devoted to their Indian wives. When John ("Liver Eating") Johnson's Flathead wife, the Swan, was murdered by Crow warriors, for example, Johnson went on the warpath, killed some 300 Crows, and ate their livers in revenge...
