He engaged in his first wholly partisan political stumping since he took office. Campaigning for Republican gubernatorial candidates in Virginia and New Jersey. Nixon mentioned the war only once -and that was to tell an airport crowd in Morristown, N.J., to be sure to listen to his speech this week "on that particular matter...
...Spock Conspiracy seems to have passed into that shadowy Pete Seeger-Odetta land of forgotten movements. I could barely remember what the issues were when I first picked up the book.

...have retired. Others, like Saint Laurent, reach for youth by focusing increasingly on less expensive ready-to-wear clothes. At 46, fatigued by the efforts that have kept him far ahead of other designers, Rudi Gernreich last week announced that he was taking a year off in order to refresh himself. Says Gernreich, who championed the new attitude all along: "I feel that a woman must buy the basics from a boutique or designer, and then be able to do what she wants with scarves and chains.
