...year for expenses, but so far has had a hard time using it. The Nixons entertain so much that Agnew has been called on only once to throw an official dinner. The Agnews live in a four-bedroom Sheraton-Park Hotel suite, which they find adequate despite its obvious contrast with their previous quarters, the 54-room Maryland Governor's mansion in Annapolis. Their counterpart of San Clemente is the same paint-flecking seashore cottage in Maryland that they have rented for years.

Liar, lecher, bully, coward and (according to his Who's Who entry, reprinted here) survivor of nearly every 19th century military disaster from the Siege of Lucknow to the Battle of Little Big Horn, he is as appalling and implausible a scoundrel as has ever shambled through the purlieus of the past.

Last May he journeyed to Rome to plead the case for CIDOC and former Monsignor Illich, who had resigned the active ministry after an inquisitorial Vatican proceeding (TIME, Feb. 14). The ban has since been modified, and priests and nuns may study at Illich's center as long as their superiors monitor their progress...
...group's goal, says Blough, is to achieve "stability" in the construction industry-an obvious euphemism for forming a united front of big corporations to stiffen contractors' resistance to union demands, even at the price of construction delays...
