...Mesta. Socially, Nixon's Washington still has only slightly more panache than a San Clemente Chamber of Commerce meeting. But even on that front, a certain style is developing. Pat Nixon, who once had the catty Women's Wear Daily sniping because she refused to be a clotheshorse, has now had to protest that she did not, in fact, sink $19,000 into couture last year. Actually, says Pat, she came to Washington with some clothes "left over from before that people hadn't seen because we didn't live here...
...with White House Social Secretary Lucy Winchester, he has contrived to be seated next to the most beautiful women at presidential dinners, even though protocol would normally demand that he sit with the visiting dignitaries. At the state dinner for South Korea's President Chung Hee Park in San Francisco, Kissinger wound up beside Zsa Zsa Gabor. Occasionally, he turns up with Gloria Steinem, the smashing-looking Gucci liberal who writes for New York Magazine. "He's terribly intelligent and funny," says Gloria.

...Hoppe of the San Francisco Chronicle went to the future tense. It is January 1971, and President Nixon has just assessed the state of the Union. "Well, Chet, do you have an instant analysis?"

This week 185 stations will carry National Educational Television's color production of From the House of the Dead, which is likely to provide an hour-and-a-half of emotional shock...
Clear Lake, Calif., is a shallow, 40,000-acre body of fresh water that lies about 100 miles north of San Francisco. For centuries, it was home for a large colony of Western grebes, lovely birds that swim with the stately grace of swans and dive as skillfully as loons. But 15 years ago, in an environmental tragedy unwittingly perpetrated by man, large numbers of grebes began dying off, and the once-clear waters of the lake turned murky and green. Now, by introducing a new ecological cycle, scientists have saved Clear Lake's grebes and even clarified...
