...stubbornness that got her to Viet Nam in the first place. Despite the disapproval of her factory-manager father, she worked 18 hours a day for six months as an interviewer in a Paris employment agency to save the money for the trip. Her professional photographic experience was nil. Buying new equipment to supplement the single Leica she arrived with, Cathy has doggedly progressed from barely competent to the point where A.P. Photographer Horst Faas says, "She is one of the best four or five freelancers here...
...what's past is prologue, Dodd's political future may be nil. Senate adoption of the censure resolution seems assured; it would make Dodd only the sixth Senator in U.S. history to be so chastised by his colleagues. While this punishment may appear lenient-especially when contrasted with the House of Representatives' exclusion of Adam Clayton Powell-the mortification of censure is a sentence to political demise by inches. Dodd will keep all official perquisites, but must inevitably lose most of his influence and prestige, amassed, ironically, through his career as an investigator of others' transgressions...
Grim Example. Saud's chances of ever regaining power in Saudi Arabia are almost nil. The country has made far more social and economic gains under the austere Feisal than it ever did under Saud.

Says Orange County Democratic Chairman William Turnbull: "Kirk captured the imagination of the people. He lives a little. He's attractive. It's a whole new way of operating...
...platter of preachy patter. In January, Powell bragged that the record would sell more than a million copies, earning him $280,000 in royalties. But-relative to Powell's boast-the record has bombed. At most, 103,000 have been sold, and sales now are down nearly to nil. At the Record Shack on Harlem's 125th Street, Manager Buddy Franklin said that even at $1.10 off the list price of $4.79, Faith has become a dust catcher. Potential customers rarely buy the record after listening to it. "After they hear it once," said Franklin, "who needs...
