Recent visitors noticed a new bulletproof glass wall beside the swimming pool and a sound system to soothe the presidential nerves with the piped-in music of Mantovani and Kostelanetz. And he has already had some luck: his post-purchase survey of the land showed that it was not 21 but 26 acres in extent-a five-acre bonanza that Nixon's advisers estimate could eventually be worth as much...

Manhattan hippies whose skulls were zapped by police billies during a Memorial Day "bein" in New York's East Village are now trying to arrange a picnic for the cops' kids, as well as a Mantovani record concert for the officers them selves. Charges against the hippies were dismissed last week by Criminal Court Judge Herman Weinkrantz, who said: "This court will not deny the equal protection of the law to the unwashed, unshod, unkempt and uninhibited...
