...ourselves as terribly serious utopianists or revolutionaries or rising young politicos or academics. Ken Kesey's letter to Tim Leary in Rolling Stone is as much the kind of supercilious grandstanding that Brooks is talking about as are Stalin's daughter's Twenty Letters to a Friend. David Susskind, Erich Segal and Andy Warhol are all part of the same American game. Everyone plays to the audience...
...taste for vendettas against designers. Norman Norell, Mainbocher, Pauline Trigère and Mollie Parnis have all had their work pointedly ignored in its pages. Often, it seems, for the pettiest of reasons. Miss Trigère was honest enough to deride the clearly pretentious term Longuette on a David Susskind television show last March.

The album has all those old political favorites plus Spiro Agnew, David Susskind and Henry Fonda, all right on target. Nixon's singsong baritone is so close to the mark, it makes one hope Frye never gets near the hot line. L.B.J.'s drawl reeks of chili down on the Pedernales, while Nelson Rockefeller's gravelly voice sounds as if he had taken a speech-improvement course and swallowed...
