A brilliant, bitter, unsatisfied man, he wears expensive Savile Row suits and carries a cane, but his living habits are austere-no tobacco, no alcohol, no meat-and he sometimes seems to get along only on massive doses of phenobarbital, arrogance and black tea.

Deborah Marie and Christine Mary were born (by Caesarean section) a fortnight ago to Norene Andrews, 35, a former nurse, wife of a meat salesman, and mother of a normal five-year-old girl.

The verdict: guilty of collaboration. The sentence: dishonorable dismissal, with forfeiture of all pay and allowances...
...many top Washington officials are as meticulous as General Services Administrator Edmund F. Mansure. He carefully separates the meat from the potatoes before he eats a plate of beef hash. In similar fashion he has separated the nation's $1 billion annual housekeeping bill into such components as paper clips, office desks and procurement forms, thereby saved the Government $150 million last year. But not all of Mansure's orders have made dollar-saving sense...
