...Rather, whose acerbic press-conference quizzing of Nixon outraged the former President's defenders, and his lesser-known colleague, Gary Paul Gates, make a brisk and balanced case for their assertion. Nixon, they write, had an obsessive fear of a political threat from the liberal Ted Kennedy. The President attempted to blunt this threat with his own flock of political moderates: Arthur Burns and Pat Moynihan in the White House, former Governors George Romney, Wally Hickel and John Volpe, as well as Robert Finch, in the Cabinet.

Although not a critic's band, this group does have a hit single, "Falling in Love," which is gradually climbing the charts. Orpheum theater, October...
...ordeal of the political wife, and the somewhat lesser strains borne by the political husband (see box page 19), is more than a matter of mere gossip, more than a personal problem. It was important enough to help knock the leading Democratic contender out of the 1976 presidential race. Under the steady glare of television, the personality and character of the political wife is more crucial than ever, but the treatment she receives has not caught up with her importance.
