...whiplash excitement around her husband. Says Lindy Boggs: "Bird would be only half alive if she divorced herself from politics." There is not a chance that she will. Last week, when a reporter asked the President if Lady Bird would be campaigning for him this fall, Lyndon replied with relish: "She is-and will be." And she has been-and will be-able and invaluable. In 1960 she traveled 35,000 miles in 71 days for Lyndon, mostly in the South. Says Bobby Kennedy chivalrously: "Lady Bird carried Texas...
...particular pride to Michael is Evanston's program for Educable Mentally Handicapped (EMH) students. He recounts with considerable relish how a CBS television show came to Evanston "to see our program for the talented but was so impressed by our EMH program" that the TV network fimled a report on it instead. "We're just as proud of this aspect of our program as we are of the other tracks...
...playwright and producer. But he was also consumed with self-loathing-and with sufficient reason ("I always," he writes, "had a little too much dung on my soul"). He drank prodigiously (he could down a full bottle of whisky before breakfast), swindled his friends indiscriminately, and records with obvious relish how he gulled the daughter of a Presbyterian minister into a marriage of convenience only to desert her two months later for a homosexual alliance with a boy he met in California.

John Ross as Albany and Thomas Weisbuch as Cornwall both perform well, but they are in demanding...
Even in these one-worldly days of cultural colonies and jet-settlers, most U.S. authors trying to depict European sophistication seem indefinably out of their league, like children sashaying around in grown-up shoes. Not so David Stacton, who here recounts with relish and delight a nostalgic encounter between two Old World celebrities at an international film festival. Leading man is Charlie, a writer rich but long past his prime, an exquisite wit, mildly fond of young men, though he has been married four times. With his latest boy in tow, Charlie encounters an old cinemactress friend...
