Admitting that their campaign slogan would undoubtedly produce a "blip-blip" on TV, Author Norman Mailer and Writer Jimmy Breslin formally announced their respective candidacies for New York City mayor and city council president. What's more, they were serious about it. "We are sentimental about the past," said Mailer. "We want New York to thrive again, to be a city famous for the charm, ferocity, elegance, strength, calm and racy character of its separate neighborhoods." The Mailer-Breslin plan is to detach the city from New York State and make it a city-state of its own, organized...
...grappling with President Nixon's belt-tightening budget, U.S. Budget Director Robert Mayo must endure a new nickname around Washington. Recently he briefed newsmen and legislators on the President's fiscal policies. A local television station carried the report, but in a fit of homonymous confusion a TV technician flashed a picture of Red China's Mao Tse-tung.

Statement could easily become a cult movie about a sort of engage Graduate. MGM has already bought the movie option and production plans are under way.

Among his proposals: "admired characters" like Johnny Carson should stop smoking on camera, and TV series heroes should decline cigarettes offered them during climactic scenes. That, said Frederickson, might help dissuade the 4,000 young Americans who begin smoking every...
Logging the Hours. There is mounting pressure from Washington against tobacco commercials, and television seems to be listening. The TV industry, which carried $208 million in tobacco advertising last year, now carries about one antismoking commercial for every three cigarette spots. Both NBC and ABC have increased the number of antismoking commercials in prime time, while two broadcast station owners -Post-Newsweek and Group W-have dropped cigarette advertising altogether.* Dr. Frederickson, however, still considers that inadequate. Last December he went on the air himself in a series of five 30-minute programs on WOR-TV, a Manhattan independent, called...
