...coming weeks, visitors to Washington, D.C., who board a particular sightseeing bus may well be greeted by a tour hostess who will tell them about various points of interest-and then wind up by asking them to vote for her husband for Vice President of the U.S. Joan Mondale, 45, the Senator's quick-witted and sturdily self-possessed wife, works regularly for Washington Whirl-Around, a visitors' service operated by her friend Ellen Proxmire, wife of the Wisconsin Senator. "It's so much fun," says Mrs. Mondale. "They're all strangers I'm talking...
Rather like a roving medieval Irish clan, Senator Edward Kennedy and 20 relatives and friends sallied forth into western Massachusetts last week on a camping trip. Among those accompanying Teddy were Wife Joan, Sisters Jean Smith and Eunice Shriver and Children Kara, 16, Ted Jr., 14, and Patrick, 8.

Did you know, as the National Enquirer reports, that a girl had a secret romance with Bobby Kennedy in the summers of 1948 and 1949? "My world fell apart," Joan Winmill Brown told the Enquirer. "I had two nervous breakdowns, lived on drugs-even contemplated suicide." This kind of journalism has a lineage in England and America going back to scandal sheets for scullery maids. However bold the headlines, much that appears is a souped-up version of news already...
...skyscraper, with big-city sleaziness reflected in every panel of the glass-curtain wall. This is a Brechtian book in which a small-time heel, Joey (Christopher Chadman), with his naive boasts and shameless buttering-up, is letched onto by a rich, man-eating tigress named Vera (Joan Copeland), who loves him enough to stake him to a night club, but who coolly leaves him before he can leave...
