Nixon wants an adequate but minimal photographic record of his presidency, says Atkins, a veteran of 27 years with the Saturday Evening Post. He has trimmed civilians on the White House photo-lab staff from 11 to four and dismissed the 23-man newsreel team that used to follow President Johnson around. Also gone is L.B.J.'s computerized photo file. Marvels Atkins: "You could push one button and out would come pictures of Johnson smiling, push another and you'd get Johnson frowning. One of the first things we did was throw out that file...

Yet only one was multiplying massively enough to produce the ugly green discoloration on the cave walls.

MARTIN began withdrawing from things after that. He didn't date any more for the entire semester, or work, or play or even go to biology lab. All he did was sit in the living room in the old chair and stare at the telephone, which he seemed to be afraid to touch. His roommate sensed that something was bothering Martin and alerted Martin's parents, who agreed that their son seemed to be having trouble adjusting to life at Harvard.

...whom I spent a curious, concentrated week canvassing the freshman dormitories for political talent. We weren't too successful, if the truth be known, finding most of my classmates had their minds on P. T. credits and Gen Ed Ahf and the girl next door in Nat Sci 5 lab. Harvard seemed to be a pretty shrewd head, always bending just enough this way or that, always holding out just enough personal and academic freedom to keep people busy...
