...most formidable sword, of course, remains national disunity. Like all Presidents-elect, Nixon has been enjoying the traditional honeymoon with the nation in his first weeks after election. He has used the quiet time that often follows the end of a long campaign to forge an Administration privately and deliberately. Nixon knows well that the decisions he makes on appointments between now and the first of the year will determine the character of his Administration for many months, and the public's reaction to it. The President-elect has also begun work on his Inaugural Address, hoping that...
Marvin ("Buddy") Mandel, 48, speaker of the house of delegates, state Democratic chairman and the man who most helped Agnew to govern successfully, has the inside track on replacing him. In fact, Agnew may even quietly urge Maryland's 33 G.O.P. legislators (v. 152 Democrats) to support Mandel, who helped him to enact income tax reform and an open-housing bill as well as to repeal Maryland's antimiscegenation law. A quiet veteran of 17 years in the legislature, Mandel appoints all house committees, signs all bills, and presides over its sessions with a composure that only rarely...
...Quiet in the Delta. The level of fighting, to be sure, did not nearly approach the intensity of battle that had prevailed earlier in the year. Whatever tacit understanding to lower the level of violence that had been reached be tween the U.S. and the North Vietnamese seemed to be working, at least in part.

The middle part of the country, II Corps, is quiet. Communist forces have either gone into hiding, drifted further south or slipped across the Cambodian and Laotian borders. Except for a massive, six-battalion attempt by the South Vietnamese last week in Chau Doc province to take a vital Viet Cong stronghold, the fertile and populous Delta area of IV Corps...
After her well-guarded honeymoon on the isle of Skorpios, Jacqueline Onassis was looking forward to a quiet trip home to Manhattan and her children, with a stop along the way to see her sister, Lee Radziwill, in England. But when a lady has been queen of the headlines for so long, no place can really be a castle. London newsmen trailed Jackie to Lee's 49-acre estate, where a photographer snapped her standing alongside Dancer Rudolf Nureyev, bundled against the chill in a shapeless and unbecoming brown beret, blue jacket and grey trousers. And one woman...
