Mollenhoff Cocktail. Some of Nixon's men are emerging at last as fairly colorful in their business hours as well. White House Aide Clark Mollenhoff's attack on opponents of Judge Clement Haynsworth on a Washington television program was so vehement that it caused one of the participants to threaten a libel action. Mollenhoff's repeated fulminations led to a Washington jape about the "Mollenhoff Cocktail-you throw it and it backfires."

In equating Solzhenitsyn with Colorado beetles, Sholokhov reminded some Soviet citizens of the episode in which Moscow accused the U.S. of introducing the pests into Russia to destroy its crops...
...diplomatic staff of two (a secretary and a communications expert) work in a makeshift office in the servants' quarters, using packing cases as a conference table. It is not unusual for Rives to answer telephone calls himself. The rest of the American diplomatic presence consists of two military men, both colonels and each with two servants, who rush about in rented cars...
