Five days after flinty New Hampshireman Sherman Adams took to television (surprising some viewers with his warmth) to announce his retirement as the President's chief of staff, the President named Adams' successor: Alabama's Wilton Burton Persons, 62, Adams' admiring but totally dissimilar deputy.

Raj Kapoor trains his camera on them almost without a break, and they have rewarded him by endowing his film with the gentle luster of a miniature masterpiece...
