...disinclined to wait. His entourage is invited in for a drink. "Mackell going to pay for this?" Procaccino asks. Assured that refreshments are indeed on the missing Mackell, the candidate suddenly snaps his fingers. "As long as I've got the night off," he announces, "I'll take the wife and daughter out to dinner." He finds a pay telephone and is about to dial when he notices that a reporter is watching him. "You're the one from Washington, aren't you? What's the matter, the President of the United States doesn...
Many experts assume that when Mao dies, his anointed heir, Defense Minister Lin Piao, will take over the chairmanship of the party. His rule will most likely be only temporary; behind the scenes, the country may well be run by a collective leadership.

The balladeer-song-writer met his "very groovy chick" while performing in Los Angeles at the Troubadour Cafe, where she was serving tables. "She has the same philosophy I have," he says. "We're just interested in living...

George Armacost, 65, the about-to-retire president of the sponsoring University of Redlands, came out to the camp one evening and started talking like a normal college administrator until one of the kids cut him off: "C'mon, George, get with it." It was the first time a Redlands student had ever called him George. He was still up at 4 a.m., banging away on his portable typewriter, setting down his reaction to the experience. He didn't quite understand...
