Nixon tried to hold his more routine appointments down to steal time for the speech. Lunch on several days was off a tray. Not since he secluded himself to draft the speech accepting his party's nomination had he devoted himself so totally to a writing job. He kept the content to himself, brushing off even the specific questioning of Republican congressional leaders at their weekly White House breakfast. He revealed only that the speech would be a review of "where we've been, where we are and where we're going...
According to the police, last week's mass meeting was "without precedent" in Calabria. The hoods did, however, steal a few lines from some distant cousins. After the famous 1957 raid at Apalachin, N.Y., the 60 mobsters who were seized there explained that they had assembled for nothing more sinister than a friendly cookout.

...from a heavy vinyl satchel ($17.50) to Vuitton's convertible shoulder-strap model ($125). Gucci, credited with starting the fad two years ago in Italy, shows two shoulder models in leather and canvas (Actor Marcello Mastroianni wears his with matching pants), along with the favorite clutch bag, a steal at $69. Furrier Jacques Kaplan has a dressier number, in fur with outside pockets, for $150. Paris Couturier Givenchy, in the U.S. last week, promised that his designs next year will include a purse for men. But in Italy, no one is waiting around. Shops in Rome have been doing...
