...think people realize how really great she is." In a week that for Pat Nixon included presentation of awards to Washington youngsters for beautifying the nation's capital, handshaking with surprised visitors to the White House Rose Garden, and greeting the six-year-old poster child for the muscular dystrophy and multiple sclerosis campaign, a friend found the First Lady's mood "ebullient and confident...
...Your American note, "Potluck" [Sept. 17], really annoyed me. The Muscular Dystrophy Association acted as if the "Marijuana Dealers Association's" gift was something less than generous. I suppose the contribution would have been more significant had it come from a local oil company, building contractor or politician-all top-ranking "ethical" members of society. How unfortunate for a society that hails as "ethical" those who weave a "goodie" blanket of All-Americanism around them yet thrive on greed, corruption and deceit...
Soviet Deterrent. So long as the humorless, Moscow-lining Honecker regime stays in power, no one expects a repetition of the Polish riots or the dramatic 1953 workers' uprising in East Berlin.

But as pot smoking becomes increasingly accepted (TIME, Sept. 10), a new breed of long-haired millionaire philanthropists...
...come up with new ones on his own. In New York's Harlem, Lee Dunham, one of McDonald's 60 black licensees, serves free hamburgers to unwed mothers every Saturday; in Chicago this summer licensees had carnivals on their parking lots to raise money for muscular dystrophy research. Throughout the country, McDonald's managers often rush free food to disaster sites, as local outlets near Roseville, Calif., did after last April's ammunition train explosion...
