...glop goes in 'em an' none comes out!!" Pogo has been invaded in recent months by an odd beast, half Great Dane and half hyena, that looks and alliterates like Spiro T. Agnew, by a bulldog that might be taken for J. Edgar Hoover, and by a pipe-smoking, improbable baby eagle that might fool even Martha Mitchell into thinking she had seen John. This trio of animal crackers spends most of its time trying to decipher messages from an unseen chief who chooses to communicate by means of undecipherable paper dolls. "Dashing deep-digging thought dominates...
...Prudhoe Bay alone, almost 165 miles of 48-in. pipe lay stacked in seemingly endless rows of 60-ft. sections. The pipe is supposed to be used for construction of the 789-mile trans-Alaska pipeline by the Alyeska Pipeline Service Co., which was formed last year by seven oil companies. But the project remains mired in environmental controversy. Even if permission to build the pipeline is granted by the Department of the Interior within the next several months, as appears likely, the project stands to be delayed. A series of court injunctions won by such diverse groups...
...sure, the President downplayed the politics of his moves. Nixon explained that Hardin, a pipe-smoking former chancellor of the University of Nebraska, had wanted out as early as three months ago to accept "an exceptionally attractive offer" as vice chairman of Ralston Purina Co., a large cereals and feed processor in St. Louis.

Conceded one of Nixon...

...protrays this world admirably. The set is classic; pictures of the Doges' Palace, Grandmother, and the family dogs overlook crumpled chairs and a decanter of port. The costumes are all very tweedy, exuding pipe tobacco or rose water. The acting blends right in, and except for the usual accent problems (why can't American actors stop trying to convince us they are really British?) is generally quite competent. The women are the best; Gloria Fisher as Mrs. Smith is the Perfect Lady, who covers up her viciousness by layers of daubbed on gentility. Sarah Kindleberger as Mrs. Martin demonstrates...
