...Nixon flew to Peru not on behalf of the U.S. Government-which had already made substantial contributions-but as a representative of private American donors. Her trip grew out of a remark to her husband one day at Camp David, Mrs. Nixon explained. "I just wish I could do something to help those people. I'd like to make a trip down," she told the President. His reply...
...Hamilton gives a fine portrayal of the newly-widowed Mrs. Dudgcon. Not only is she cruel and bigoted and flamboyantly ascetic, but she is made to appear hypocritical too, as Miss Hamilton quickly pulls out a handkerchief when the minister enters. And she knows how to put over a remark like, "Well, I am Richard's mother. If I am against him who has any right to be for him?" Shaw has also allowed her to be unintentionally funny, as when she dismisses her brother's bastard daughter Essic with the comment, "Your history isn't fit for your...
...rhetorical masterpiece, but it sounded a counterpoint to Nixon's injudicious remark about youthful "bums" and Vice President Agnew's continual assaults on dissenters. The response sent Nixon off to California warmed to the core. If he is lucky, some of the good feeling may last even after he returns to Washington early next week.

He would, if he could, mortgage Margaret's Christopher Wren-designed palace for a chance to do a feature film like that cinematographic tour de force, Elvira Madigan. His next project, though, will still be "on the fringes of documentary." He is dickering about...
...Blue. Though his speech-making about youth was conciliatory, a more casual remark about one young American was not. The lone student on President Nixon's new commission on campus disorder, Joseph Rhodes Jr., 22, a junior fellow at Harvard, set Agnew off like a fire bomb. Talking to a New York Times reporter, Rhodes wondered "if the President's and Vice President's statements are killing people." Agnew read the interview and demanded Rhodes' resignation. Rhodes, he said, has "a transparent bias that will make him counterproductive to the work of the commission...
