...premature disclosure of his future plans. He has kept a deft, discreet hand in national Republican affairs-just enough to hold onto his credentials as a Republican to be reckoned with. He participated in formation of the Republican Coordinating Committee last year and has otherwise supported National Chairman Ray Bliss. While counseling amity between the party's "responsible conservatives" and "progressives" (a term he prefers over "moderate"), he has also taken the now mandatory slap at the "radical fringe." In the fall he campaigned in New Jersey for the Republican gubernatorial candidate, Wayne Dumont, who lost, and in Philadelphia...
...held--the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre, all of it. Even disciplined portly General von Choltitz (Gert Forbe) balks at the task. Finally (because he comes to the conclusion that Hitler is mad) he betrays the city to the Allies and it's all over but the shouting. Producer Ray Stark could have made a documentary or he could have made a movie about von Choltitz's moral dilemma (uninteresting though it may be). Instead he has attempted to place every page of the book in Gallic animation--a feat awesome in itself since every page is as boring...
...tough act to follow, but Mimi grinned gratefully: "It's easier to follow a good act than a bad one-it's not like this show was a bomb." Neither was Mimi.

...Detroit's main post office, a prototype of the scanner has already processed more than 500,000 pieces of mail. As many as 36,000 letters an hour can be fed into a conveyor system that carries them past a cathode-ray tube. The tube's scanning beam locates the last line of each address, converts it to electrical impulses that are recorded on an electronic version of a scratch pad. They are then read by a computer that recognizes city, state and ZIP code characters by comparing them with 6,000 combinations of standard characters...
...then there was a Ranger named Ray ("Pinochle") Miller. When captured by Mexican bandits who decided "to 'dobe-wall him," he shot the firing squad with a camera before it could shoot him with bullets. Flattered and fascinated, the bandits began posing for photographs and drinking straight shots of sotol, a distillation of yucca that makes tequila seem like celery tonic. When they were suitably swacked, Sergeant Miller took a flying leap to the nearest horse and "hit the Rio Grande so hard he knocked it dry for 50 feet." He left his camera behind. No matter. No film...
