...most part, though, the trip-as intended-was low-key and at times downright dull. Just as, it was noted, only a dish of spaghetti excites a Roman, it takes a good deal to turn the attention of other Europeans from their coq au vin, fish and chips or sauerbraten to any display of public fervor. It was therefore predictable that Richard Nixon's earnest pilgrimage stirred less excitement last week than the triumphant passages of his more glamorous predecessors, Eisenhower and Kennedy -or even than the European hegira early last month of Astronaut Frank Borman, fresh from orbiting...
...Levin's bestseller (4,400,000 sales in paperback alone) has clearly inspired others to deal with the devil. Among them: The Mephisto Waltz by Fred Mustard Stewart (a pianist kills and inhabits the body of a long-fingered friend), and Don't Rely on Gemini by Vin Packer (the Corsican brothers in outer space).

Crum, who sends out Menus by Mail to 6,000 subscribers in 45 states (among them: Jacqueline Kennedy, Ilka Chase and Pauline Trigere), currently recommends beef Wellington...
Along Route 1 last week, 70 wiry South Vietnamese bent low on their racing bicycles, pedaling for all they were worth. Close behind were two vin tage French-made armored cars, their .30-caliber machine guns pointed unsportingly at spectators. It was an odd procession, and as it whizzed past his foxhole outside Danang, U.S. Marine Lance Corporal Charles Armour, 18, whose patrol had been ambushed nearby only hours before, could only marvel: "It's really weird...
