Next came the touchy matter of telling Burns. Tuesday evening Carter himself reached Burns in West Palm Beach and asked him to come to Washington, without saying why. Mondale was dispatched in an Air Force DC-9 to pick up Burns. The flight to Washington was quite stilted with Mondale and Burns both knowing what they should be talking about but never mentioning...
...honeymoon will wait until February, when the Palm Beach, Fla. exhibition of his prison paintings has closed. Still, Watergater E. Howard Hunt, 59, found time to pop open some bubbly and toast his new bride. She is Laura Martin, 31, a former Georgia schoolteacher whom he met through friends over a year ago.

The bank will also throw in the price of the sales tax and license plates...
...light of all this, there is something brave, if conceivably self-destructive about Telefon, which might have been subtitled 'The Last Spy Picture Show." Its creators do not attempt to palm off their Manchurian Candidate plot as something ripped from today's flaming headlines. The gimmick- a group of Russian deep-cover agents in the U.S. are mind-conditioned to sabotage military targets when they get a phone call repeating a triggering phrase- is seen from the start as a forgotten pre-détente plot that an unreconstructed cold warrior (Donald Pleasence) manages...
