...retired general held his head high for the 200 reporters and photographers at his press conference at Manhattan's Harley Hotel last week. Pale and tired-looking but firm of voice, he claimed victory in his $120 million libel suit against CBS. Although William Westmoreland had withdrawn his case and had won no money, no vindication by a jury and no retraction, he said that a joint statement issued by him and the network had provided the affirmation of his honor that he had sought. The statement said, in part, "CBS respects General Westmoreland's long and faithful service...
Young Georges-Marie, 9, has, as his cousin Bienville tartly notes, "more names than Jehovah," among them Moumou, Puss and the Dauphin. This spectrally beautiful, thin, pale child speaks a bewildering mixture of French and "Ol' Kintuck," the hayseed dialect he absorbed during his brief exposure to Governor Davis' three strapping sons: "O, he jest being plain bad. O, il m'echappe toujours!" All the Sioux are holding their breath to see how George takes to Castleton. Armand reassures his brother-in-law: "The Dauphin has a truly terrifying sense of gratitude.

...Governor Paul Laxalt for President; Robert Maheu's part in a half-baked CIA plot to poison Fidel Castro.

Keep your ears open just before a concert and you hear an LSD vendor saying, "Trips, trips," without moving his mouth. "Yeah," says Monica from Santa Monica, Calif., a pale 20-year-old who looks 14. "My girlfriend was using acid, and she couldn't stop dancing at the end of one concert. They had to bring her down with Valium." There was another girl who was biting people...
...second tape was apparently filmed by the kidnapers on a home videocassette. Then it mysteriously came into the hands of Visnews, a British television news agency. And last week the footage, showing pale but well- groomed U.S. Diplomat William Buckley standing in front of a bare wall and holding a Beirut newspaper, appeared on TV screens across the U.S. "Today, the 22nd of January 1985, I am well, and my friends Benjamin Weir and Jeremy Levin are also well," said Buckley. "We ask that our Government take action for our release quickly." In response, President Reagan assured reporters that efforts...
