Maurice had been butler, chauffeur, valet, handyman and cook to Sir Francis Henry Grenville Peek, 56, fourth baronet of Rousdon. But with raven-haired, Jamaica-born Lady Caroline Peek, 37, the testimony revealed, Maurice's services had gone considerably further...
...including a hazardous stretch through the asteroid belt-to fly to within 87,000 miles of the planet Jupiter. If all goes well, the unmanned ship-Pioneer 10-will radio back the first closeup pictures of the giant planet, probe its intense magnetic fields and radiation belts and perhaps peek at one of the twelve Jovian moons.

Viewers will see the Nixons' private tree; they will watch as Son-in-Law Eddie Cox is welcomed for his first Christmas at the White House, and get an unusual peek into the First Family's album of Christmases past. Most remarkable, however, is the spectacle of a nattily dressed Richard Nixon romping on the sitting-room floor with his dogs, King Timahoe, an Irish setter, Vicky, a gray miniature poodle and Pasha, a Yorkshire terrier. The President, doubtless mindful...
