...minding state business in New York, still playing his quiet waiting game with skill. He announced that he would seek a new state program to create jobs in ghettos by offering tax incentives to businesses that locate there. But on national politics he had nothing to add to his remark of the previous week: "I don't want to be President." Lest this discourage Rockefeller's fans, Maryland's Governor Spiro Agnew, one of his most irrepressible supporters, declared cryptically: "Rockefeller is just as much of a non-candidate as he was before...
...Whether or not marijuana is a more dangerous drug than alcohol is debatable. I don't happen to think it is." In light of the current debate about marijuana, the remark was unremarkable-except that it was made by Dr. James Goddard, head of the Food and Drug Administration. It came after a lecture on "business decisionmaking" at the University of Minnesota's Graduate School of Business Administration.

But Romney has been counted out before, only to stage a winning campaign. He seems determined to do so again...
...National Theater Company last week staged a version of As You Like It in which all four female parts were played by men. For the production the actor-actresses were garbed in wigs and flowing gowns but there were no falsies and no falsettos. The result was a remark ably chaste performance free of disturbing homoerotic overtones. While Lon don reviewers generally had mixed feelings about the experiment, they praised the angular grace of Ronald Pickup's Rosalind, which evoked memories of the sprightly 1961 performance in the same role by Vanessa Redgrave...
