...Vanderbilt Cooper enthusiastically endorses Adolfo's notion of dressing in accessories by putting together what she calls "bits and pieces." She provides the bits, Adolfo the pieces. It was Gloria Cooper who caught on early to the patchwork craze, scoured antique shops for rare quilts, and had Adolfo whip up a basic wardrobe of 14 evening skirts for her, "It's kind of spooky-like osmosis," she says of the relationship, "the way we think alike about color and fabric." And, as if that were not enough, Mrs. Cooper adds, "There is so much pleasure and so much...
...continue the levy for a year and repeal the 7% business investment tax credit. The vote appeared closer than the issue actually was; G.O.P. leaders had been assured by many members that their votes were Nixon's if the measure actually faced defeat on the floor. Minority Whip Leslie Arends marched Republicans in from the cloakroom by ones and twos until he had enough votes to put the surtax over the top.

Last week Republican Whip Hugh Scott said in a press conference that he saw "no objection" coming from the Administration. Equally significant was a recent speech by New Hampshire Democrat Thomas Mclntyre, chairman of the Armed Services subcommittee on research and development. He raised the possibility of concentrating effort for the time being...
...McClellan's first subpoena does not threaten the universities very much more than does the current Congressional talk of "anti-riot" legislation. McClellan apparently is not going to use the information to try to take aid away from the 32 students. That discriminatory use of Federal aid as a whip against poor students may come, but it will come from another committee. And the information that McClellan forced out of Holyoke Center is far from secret. If he had been in a hurry, McClellan could have sent an aide to the Office of Education files in Washington to get exactly...
