...abasement and mystification. Last week, A. & P. introduced the public to two men whose white aprons proclaim them to be Price and Pride. Price-hair parted down the middle, wire-rimmed glasses, collar pin-looks like a study in fiscal conservatism; Pride, bow-tied and portly, looks expansive.

"They played it slow, they played it fast, they paused," he complains. "You've seen that film a dozen times now." A number of newsmen are irked that Lynette Fromme...
...August. Cleaver had come to visit his friend Jack Caball, an American expatriate novelist (one of a dying breed) and talk about his pants. The setting was intimate--the room in the Latin Quarter of Paris was dark and warm, with wood ceiling beams, tall bookshelves, a Calder print above the fireplace and a Chagall lithograph over the grand piano...
