Traveling Light. For the U.S., the chief negotiator in what is likely to prove a harrowing test of endurance, patience and skill will be Roving Ambassador Averell Harriman, who at 76 boasts not only a long record of suecessful negotiations with Communist diplomats but astonishing stamina as well. Backing up Harriman will be Cyrus R. Vance, 51, until last year the Deputy Secretary of Defense. As its chief representative, Hanoi designated Xuan Thuy, 55, a veteran diplomat and journalist who retired as Foreign Minister three years ago. Supporting him will probably be Mai Van Bo, 50, the pudgy, polished former...
...moment, the prospects for Rockefeller's success hinge on state leaders rather than on statesmanship. Several nominally uncommitted G.O.P. Governors, such as Ohio's James Rhodes and Pennsylvania's Raymond Shafer, privately favor Rockefeller. He must prove to these and other favorite sons that he can keep enough delegates out of Nixon's net between now and August to merit their support.

The case will probably come to trial in the fall, when it could prove embarrassing to Wallace's presidential aspirations...
While hippiedom onstage may last no longer than its cultists, nudity could prove more durable. On-and off-Broadway, this has been the year of naked truth. It reflects the widening moral latitude of U.S. society, and represents the theater's attempt to recover that adult freedom of expression which films have pre-empted in recent years. Sometimes stage nudity is irrelevant, as in Bruce Jay Friedman's Scuba Duba, where a woman, both topless and pendulous, runs purposelessly down a flight of stairs. On the other hand, in The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie, it enhances...
