Vice President Spiro Agnew packed up his clubs, bade farewell to Fellow Golfer Bob Hope in Palm Springs, and embarked upon an official good-will tour of Asia, Africa, the Middle East and Europe. In all, he will be out of the country for 32 days, longer than any Vice President since Richard Nixon...
...acknowledged that even at his worst, Visconti remains a master of surfaces. The city's astonishing Adriatic streets, its gleaming planes and squares have never been so lovingly rendered. The epoch, with beautiful women haloed by immense hats and men elegantly attired merely for a saunter through the palm court, is flawlessly but tediously recreated.

To reduce auto-exhaust pollution, shopping and commercial centers will be placed within walking or biking distance of most residents. Industry will be mostly light; factory builders must submit strict pollution-abatement plans before starting construction...
...LOOK at their Palm Beach sport jackets and their wives' Lord and Taylor prints, you'd never guess that the boys from '46 suffer from an acute lack of class consciousness. But that's exactly the problem that every one kept uneasily in the back of his mind when the organizers of this year's 25th Reunion sat down to map out their respective strategies nine months...
