Novak (the saturnine-looking one) observed that Democratic National Chairman Fred Harris was "trying to carry water on both shoulders" in discussing whether the old-line politicians or the hew black groups should represent the party in Georgia. After CORE Director Roy Innis had left, Evans curtly dismissed his proposals for separation of the races. "I think," he said, "that Mr. Innis' basic racial philosophy makes very little sense. I don't see how it could work." Secretary of Housing and Urban Development George Romney got off easily, as did Presidential Assistant Daniel P. Moynihan. "Bob," Evans said...
Those closers are the quintessential Kerr. The dish has been carried into a dining-room set that looks like something left over by Liberace. Candles are aglow. Violins are playing Chopin or The Man I Love. Kerr's lips tremble with rapture. He blows kisses to his own cuisine and launches into the most passionate eating scenes since Tom Jones. Occasionally he falls as flat as a novice's souffle. He once referred to the trimming of mushroom stems for a steak-kidney-mushroom-and-oyster pie as "a small circumcision."

...exports than any other in the world, Hong Kong increased sales to foreign customers in 1968 by 26%, to $1.4 billion. Bank deposits climbed 20%. The stock market reached an alltime high.

Wells) to the pages of the magazine, made it Britain's foremost intellectual forum, increased circulation to 80,000. His own influential column, "London Diary," was Utopian in thrust...
...true? Suddenly the earth is no longer steady. Their son, whom she had raised to be a left-wing intellectual, quits work on his Ph.D. thesis and, to please his shallow wife, takes a profitable sinecure in the Ministry of Culture. (The choice is amusing; Leftist de Beauvoir is taking a poke at De Gaulle's "house" intellectual, Minister of Culture Andre Malraux.) Then reviews appear of her latest book, a work intended to offer fresh approaches to literary criticism. "Wearisome repetition," they say, or at best, "an interesting restatement." The reviewers are correct, she realizes, and it seems...
