...lizards-the racing scene's version of groupies-quivered with anticipation. Despite the forceful command from Tricia Nixon Cox, it rained so hard that the whole thing had to be postponed for two hours. Besides her husband Edward Cox, among the aficionados were Otis Chandler, Candice Bergen, Paul Newman (who has a hotrod engine hidden beneath his Volkswagen's middle-class bustle) and Barry Goldwater (who arrived and departed via helicopter).

...Hollywood. He made two more pictures in breathless succession, Fuzz and the forthcoming Shamus. Last week he was on location in Little Rock, Ark., shooting McKlusky with Director Joe Sargent. Sargent admires Reynolds' "ballsiness and talent" and says, "He has the same kind of craft as McQueen and Newman...
