...Russian government mouthpiece, Izvestia, announced last week that British Journalist and longtime Foreign Office Staffer H.A.R. ("Kim") Philby, 51, the famed Third Man in the Burgess-Maclean spy case, had turned up in Moscow, where he will probably spend the rest of his wretched life.

At $10 a copy, Eros offers little more than what can be picked up by a determined voyeur with scissors and a library card-a reworking of Lysistrata, ribald pieces by De Maupassant...
...Bobby's Administration critics note that he recently accompanied Defense Secretary Robert McNamara on a visit to the office of Arkansas' Democratic Senator John McClellan, chairman of a committee investigating McNamara's controversial contract for the TFX all-purpose fighter aircraft.
