Apparently Agnew learned nothing from the summer tax fight. Last week, when Maine Democrat Edmund Muskie proposed that the U.S. unilaterally halt testing MIRV nuclear warheads for six months, the Vice President issued the admonition that "no responsible person would propose that the President play Russian roulette with U.S. security.' Agnew seemed to have overlooked the fact that Massachusetts Republican Edward Brooke and 42 other Senators were already promoting a resolution in favor of a bilateral recess in MIRV testing pending the start of Soviet-American arms control talks.

...third and final stage of a rumor's life, the information is tailored to suit the vendor's interests and emotional needs. Those who believe that McCartney is dead, for instance, are in part sublimating their fear of the grave. For whenever death visits another person, it must delay its appointment in Samarra with you. Frequently, the death of a public figure breeds a host of rumors about the supposed deaths of other public figures.

My lawyer is gay, my doctor is gay, my dentist is gay, my banker is gay. The only person who is not gay is my housekeeper, and sometimes I wonder how he puts up with...
Eliott has never been to an analyst; introspection is not his forte. Why did he become homosexual? "Well, my mother was an alcoholic; my brother and I ate alone every night. I was the person who always went to the circus with the chauffeur. But I wouldn't say I was exactly sad as a child; I was rather outward-going." He went to prep school at Hotchkiss, and on to Yale. There he discovered his homosexual tendencies...
