...Jersey's Charles Joelson was brushed aside when he proposed a "do-it-yourself economy kit" with which each Congressman would trim 5% from federal projects in his own district. Michigan's Martha Griffiths captured the mood perfectly when she volunteered: "If the rest of you want to cut something out of your districts, I'll be glad to help." No one took up the offer. Silvio Conte of Massachusetts pointed to the "Capitol police falling all over themselves, elevator operators running automatic elevators." Even Arizona's John Rhodes, who as chairman of the House Republican...
These days, it seems, nobody wants to look like Hank Bauer except Hank Bauer. Certainly not Richard Nixon: despite a hereditary sparseness in front, his coiffure now rolls luxuriantly down the neck and trespasses on the ears. And certainly, certainly not Bobby Kennedy, who was once a neat trim but who lately resembles a sheep dog-or maybe a sheep. Presumably long hair is now a political asset, although Washington's most notorious tousle, Everett Dirksen, declines comment as "below the pale." Dirksen is at least known to have visited his barber before the 1952 Republican Convention, at which...
...said that Miss Taylor intentionally gained weight to play Martha in Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? If so, she must have gone into this film too fast to trim it off. Huston wisely spends most of the time presenting Miss Taylor in unbuttoned blouses, but a full-length nude shot of her (or her stand-in) climbing a stair simply fails to justify the spying enlisted man's sudden fixation for her. Her performance is, on the other hand, quite thin, with Miss Taylor's most affecting scenes those with her horse...
...nonactive force, the Organized Reserve, which stands separate from the Guard and currently numbers 260,000. Congress balked each time, and until recently Secretary McNamara has had not much more luck with his own reserve reorganization schemes. At last, however, a program seems to be near acceptance. It would trim the Guard in relatively minor terms: from 418,500 men to 400,000. It would be aimed at using those men in fewer, more efficient, more powerful units. To do this, the reorganization proposal would effectively change the shape of the Guard, eliminating 15 of the existing 23 divisions, restructuring...
...trim, athletic-looking man, dressed entirely in grey, stepped from a West Berlin taxi near a checkpoint at Heinrich-Heine-Strasse. He beckoned to an East German border guard, exchanged a few words with him, and then hurried across the border into East Berlin. The man was not a defector or a spy. He was a high-ranking West German official who carried in his black briefcase an important letter from West German Chancellor Kurt Georg Kiesinger to Premier Willi Stoph of East Germany...
