Atop a grand piano and on a coffee table were autographed color photographs of Richard Nixon, looking flushed, happy and youthful. Abstractions come easily in such surroundings, and Bunker, looking tired but still trim and sage at 77, was nothing if not abstract as he fielded the questions of the testy, aggressive reporters, and discussed his reaction to the political trauma of the past fortnight. ∙ The reporters asked many of the right questions, and felt that they received almost none of the right answers. Had he offered Minh and Ky millions of dollars to run? Had he urged Thieu...
Despite such disappointments, living in a small town offers some special Wilsonian satisfactions. It is pleasant, he notes among other things, to have the cemetery so close, "where I can look up family dates." Yet his memory of Talcottville as "a clean and trim settlement" soon proves out of date. Some of its houses are "tumbledown" and "squalid," its citizens "ambitionless." Highways are closer and larger. Birch Society posters recommend impeaching Earl Warren. Teen-age motorcyclists ride across the lawn and drink on Wilson's porch, forcing him to scare them away "with a roar and the ancient...

Inside, though, the sporty Javelin will feature optional trim and upholstery by Fashion Designer Pierre Cardin of Paris; the Hornet wagon can be had with finishing touches by Aldo Gucci, Italy's famed designer of leather accessories. Instead of new body styling, or the wide variety of models offered by its competitors, A.M.C. is making its major move in the area of warranties. Starting with the 1972 models, the company will pay for the repair of all defects during the first twelve months...
...This prospect is not unpleasing to the state's Republicans, who are still smarting from Shapp's campaign oratory. They are also determined to trim his proposed $3.3 billion budget for fiscal year 1972. If he wants an alternative tax, they insist, he will have to slash his spending by some $200 million. They now have the upper hand because Shapp cannot rely on the Democrats to line up solidly once again behind his tax program. Many resent the fact that Shapp, a Democratic insurgent, has cracked down on patronage throughout the state...
