...walks as if his shoulder blades were pinned back behind him (which can't hide an old man's paunch in front). But the sensibility beneath the authority is surprisingly agile; the Don can suddenly break into mimicry, or dance a wedding turn with his daughter with a slight protective bent that catches sentiment in movement. Brando puts so much substance into his relatively few scenes, blowing hot and cold with equal eclat, that parallels between his two sons and himself are made concrete through nuance...
NIXON. If pitted against Nixon, not a single Democratic candidate would get a majority of the votes in the presidential election. According to the views of those interviewed, Nixon would win easily against Wallace, Jackson, Lindsay or McGovern. Against Humphrey, Nixon shows a slight edge (48% to 47%, 5% undecided). Only Muskie bests Nixon by the slim margin of 46% to 45%, with 9% undecided.

...surprisingly, Lindsay's popularity among union men was at a low ebb during the period from 1966-68.

...will admit, under slight pressure, that she has never really cared for the epithet "male chauvinist pig"; though she tried it on for size a few times, and though she felt a certain heady sensation of power while using it, she has come to see that it is not really her style. She has had two abortions, both premarital and illegal, and she sends contributions to organizations like the Women's National Abortion Action Coalition-but, enclosed with her check is a request that her name be withheld from the printed list of donors. She reads Sylvia Plath...
...produced only token improvements. After the National Organization for Women picketed San Francisco's Crocker Bank last year, bank officials announced that the secretaries of its president and chairman had been appointed "assistant vice presidents." The promotions were counterfeit: both women in fact remained secretaries. With only slight exaggeration, Chicago Management Recruiting Executive Helen McLane complains: "America has put more men on the moon than it has women in the executive suite...
