...military service; with a mock bow to Lieut. General Lewis Hershey, director of Selective Service, the column is titled: "Dear General Marsbars-Advice to the Draft Resister." All in all, there are more than 100 counseling centers around the country. Milwaukee peace workers last month saw nothing at all odd in setting up a draft-guidance stand at the Wisconsin State Fair in West Allis-with a fudge salesman on one side and a kew-pie-doll barker on the other...
Bulging with five-year plans, confidential memos and balance statements, the dozen-odd attache cases are seldom out of their owner's sight. At work in New York, he lovingly lines them up on window ledges in his twelfth-floor office overlooking Park Avenue; at night, he takes a couple of them back to his East Side apartment for bedtime reading. For his frequent trips to Europe, he picks up four or five and carries them along on the plane. And on weekends, he lugs several to his weathered, two-bedroom cottage in New England, where he pores over...
...college senior (not a Harvard man) had the common complaint with an odd twist. He contracted gonorrhea four times last winter, though he insisted that he had only one girl friend.

She comes from Nebraska, and as a matter of odd fact, so do a remarkable number of other well-known names in show business-the Astaires, Marlon Brando, Johnny Carson, Montgomery Clift, James Coburn, Henry Fonda, Dorothy McGuire and Robert Taylor, to name a few. Just why, may have been explained a few years ago by ex-White House Aide...
...series of bizarre episodes, Gog finds himself involved with such hallucinatory historical characters as the Duke of Wellington, Cleopatra, and Alfred the Great, not to mention such odd fictive figures as the Bagman and the Crook. In a novel of this picaresque kind, an orgy is to be expected sooner or later. Gog's orgy comes promptly and seems to be under pre-Christian Druidic auspices, though the Marquis de Sade and Herr von Sacher-Masoch are present in postures appropriate to their eponymous status. Gog meets his spiritual twin, an evil ogre called Magog. He also finds...
