...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. Yet it was also true that Hardin had, perhaps innocently, become a political liability. Many farmers considered him an ineffective spokesman for their interests; others did not even recognize his name-with the result that Nixon became the object of their discontent. 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...
...with a legal pad and a Royal electric. "I used to be able to get down 2,000 words a day," he laments. "Now I'm happy if I can do 1,000." If he is still in the thinking stage, however, he sits in an armchair, his pipe rack beside him, and a dog or cat on his lap. Before arriving at his usual labyrinthine mystery-style plot-he is "awfully keen" on Agatha Christie and Rex Stout-he jots down something like 400 pages of notes.

...hatching rate of his chickens, ran independent tests and found that the fatty tissue of the birds contained up to 40 p.p.m. of PCBs (the federal limit for poultry is 5 p.p.m.).

Officials were dismayed to learn that the leak had gone undiscovered for nearly two months and that 13,000 tons of tainted feed had been sent to 64 customers in twelve Southern and Midwestern states...
