Though he turned 60 last week, Nelson Rockefeller showed all the ebullience of a conventioneering Jaycee as he bounced from coast to coast in a spurt of razzle-dazzle campaigning. He rode a motorized ricksha and a cable car in San Francisco, a trolley in St. Louis, a stern-wheeler on the Ohio near Louisville, and a pea-green convertible in Wall Street.

He is the archetypal mild-mannered reporter who, in times of imminent absurdity...
...three ways over the manager issue. The deepest division--one created by two and a half years of infighting--is between the five councillors who voted to fire DeGuglielmo, and the former City Manager's three supporters on the Council--Daniel J.
