...detailed prior presidential offenses-what he says were Franklin Roosevelt's uses of the FBI to dig up scandal on his enemies and to tap the home phones of his top advisers, the spectacular array of extramarital affairs that Jack Kennedy paraded through Camelot, the Kennedy wiretaps on Martin Luther King Jr., and so on. Why was only Nixon driven from office for his offenses when he had such precedents for misbehavior? The three articles of impeachment adopted by the House Judiciary Committee were specific and damning. It takes a kind of ethical myopia not to understand that...
...game is tennis and the score is, well, love-love. That about sums up the latest Anthony Harvey directed film epic, Players, starring Ali MacGraw, 39, and Dino Martin, 26, a tennis professional as well as an actor, not to mention being Dean Martin's son. She plays an ambitious older woman who meets an aspiring young tennis pro in Mexico and coaxes him to the center court at Wimbledon (the film unit rented the site for around $35,000). Adding piquancy to the situation is the fact that Ali's ex, Robert Evans, is the producer...
...study, written by Psychologist Alan Bell and Sociologist Martin Weinberg, finds that lesbians have fewer problems and are less sexually active than male homosexuals. At the time, three-quarters of the women were involved in relatively stable relationships; the majority had fewer than ten homosexual partners over a lifetime, and venereal disease was virtually unknown (one reported case among 293 women).

Forty percent of the men had had more than...

Miller has made a promising start at both, but the complexities facing him in keeping it up are formidable. Says William McChesney Martin, a revered former Fed chairman: "He is like a golfer who has made four birdies in a row, but there are some more holes to play. He has a tough job ahead." Fortunately, he is tackling it in a spirit of optimism. A pessimist would be whipped before he began...
...board in Washington is the final authority. A succession of forceful chairmen-Marriner Eccles (1936-48), William McChesney Martin (1951-70), Arthur Burns (1970-78) and now Miller-have caused the other governors to fade into public obscurity, but they still have influence. Next to Miller on the current board, J. (for John) Charles Partee, a former head of the Fed staff and wise student of the economy, has the most clout. Henry Wallich, a former Yale professor, is the board's contact man with foreign central banks. A refugee from Germany, he lived through insane inflation there...
