These precautions may not, however, prevent the President's vacation from being interrupted. A number of antiwar groups plan to open a "fall offensive" for peace with land and sea demonstrations at the summer White House next week. And Nixon may well be witness to one of the least violent protests ever planned when a group of "Women Against War Toys" marches to the beach below his clifftop castle to construct an edifice of their own: a sand castle for peace...
Postmarked Paris, the packages addressed to Moonwives Jan Armstrong, Joan Aldrin and Pat Collins contained curious-looking presents: three black wrought-iron keys. They are quite some keys, though-they open the front doors of three luxurious villas in a pine forest overlooking the Mediterranean. The ladies' admirer is Mario Marello, a real estate developer who is building a community of $40,000 vacation homes near Fréjus on the French Riviera. While he followed the moon shot, says Marello, "I couldn't keep my mind off the wives and children and the terrible anxiety they were...
...local residents generally agree-he has become known as virtually the only doctor willing to treat the poor, especially Negroes.

...Americans over 65. In Houston, Dr. Michael E. DeBakey's surgery team collected $202,959, and Dr. Denton A. Cooley's, $193,124. Here again the fees do not appear exorbitant. In all, 1,050 operations were performed, with 50 or more surgeons taking part. Complicated open-heart techniques, including the implantation of artificial heart valves and pacemakers, were involved. Even so, the average cost to Medicare for each operation was roughly $380-a modest figure. All the money, said DeBakey, went to Baylor College of Medicine, which pays the surgeons' salaries...
...life. Through history, the maze evolved into a means of fortification, an obstacle course designed to protect the castle within by trapping enemies seeking entrance. Modern man reduced the notion to a geometric style of gardening, an intricate network of hedged alleys that can lead a visitor to an open space in the middle-if he makes all the correct turns. Still, mythology lent the maze heroic proportions: it took a Theseus to tackle the labyrinth at Knossos, kill the Minotaur within and return from the depths...
