Show business everywhere is dabbling in astrology and more or less related arts. Seeress Sybil Leek's Diary of a Witch is already in its second printing, though her alleged witchcraft seems mainly a device to distinguish her from such colleagues in the prophecy business as the redoubtable Jeane Dixon and British Seer Maurice Woodruff, who does his predicting on a syndicated TV show hosted by Robert Q. Lewis. To lend a little magic to public entertainments, Los Angeles enjoys the services of an official County Witch?a title conferred by the County Supervisor on Mrs. Louise Huebner, a thirtyish...
Richard Hittleman, 40, neither chugs, tugs or mugs. His Yoga for Health, styled as an antidote to the "grunt-and-groan school," is so tranquil that it seems to be running in slow motion.

Its largest model, a 53-ft. motor yacht, offers all the amenities found on Chris Crafts, plus built-in television, bathtub, washer-dryer combination and ironing board, symbols of domesticity that would wrinkle the brow of any old salt...
...part of such a holding action. He was convinced that Goldwater had a strangle hold on the Illinois delegation, and, he said later, Scranton's suggestion "just sort of flopped onto my desk and stayed there." That same day, Scranton asked Indiana's Representative Charles Hal-leek for help with the Indiana delegation. Replied Halleck: "Come back and see me before the second ballot-if there...
