Winter Resort. At week's end, looking pale from what he called "one of those 24-hour things" but surely pleased with himself, Nixon took off from Washington on short notice, L.B.J.-style. He arrived in Key Biscayne to work on the gloomy fiscal 1973 budget, which he will send to the Congress before he leaves for Peking in late February...
...others is his refusal to back any party nominee who does not live up to his "severe standards." He made a sound political decision not to run in New Hampshire this year, since, with McGovern, Muskie and McCloskey all competing for the same vote, any showing for McCarthy would pale next to his '68 political coup.

Hawaii-born Yvonne Elliman, 19, has just the right combination of sweet, gentle good looks and crooning pop ballad style to suggest that Magdalene is really two Marys rolled into one. As Judas, Ben Vereen, 24, has one of the more physically demanding roles in the history...
