...office in Vandenberg Center: "This is a city of contrasts. It is a bastion of the radical right, and yet there is a substantial liberal population." Lyndon Johnson, for example, took 57% of the vote in 1964, v. 43% for Barry Gold water. In 1972 Richard Nixon beat George Mc-Govern by almost exactly the same margin. All the while, Ford kept his seat with majorities of 60% or more. Even so, Jerry Ford's successor in Congress is a Democrat, Richard Vander Veen...
...Night Stands. In the newly released book The Church and the Homosexual (Sheed Andrews and Mc-Meel), McNeill finds those teachings an intolerable burden. The Catholic Church advocates that a homosexual should try to become heterosexual and, if he fails, insists that he abstain from sex entirely because no homosexual act can be justified morally. McNeill maintains that such teaching results in "one-night stands" and "suffering, guilt and mental disorder." Instead, McNeill thinks the church should encourage "a mature homosexual relationship with one partner with the intention of fidelity," though he does not call this marriage...
...That man doesn't look like me at all!" snapped Katharine Hepburn, 66, dismissing her double from the sets of Olly Olly Oxen Free.

...worst kept secret in Washington is the identity of the supposedly anonymous authors of The Ear, Diana McLellan, 38, and Louise Lague, 28, both Star feature-story writers. Mc-Lellan, a perky Englishwoman who came to the U.S. 19 years ago, and Lague, a tall (5 ft. 8 in.), Rhode Island-born former reporter for the now defunct Washington Daily News, stay out of the limelight. Unlike other professional gossip collectors, they avoid parties and are rarely seen at fashionable restaurants. Their first trip together to swank Sans Souci got them, in Lague's phrase, a table in "Haute...
