...become a walking oratorical event, exhaling sulphurous prose on behalf of the Great Silent Majority. Attorney General John Mitchell's dour podsnappery as Southern strategist and antidissenter cheers the forces of law and order and dismays liberals. Mitchell himself has remained as invisible as before. But his wife Martha has emerged as one of the dominant figures on the Washington scene, and her tart tongue has enlivened a lot of cocktail parties (see box, page...
...There goes our foreign policy," clucked one somber presidential adviser as Kissinger left a recent cocktail party with Barbara, her striking blonde hair set off by purple pajamas. Kissinger, 46, is one of the few eligible bachelors in the Administration, having divorced his wife of 15 years in 1964.

Pained Penguin. But Spain, Franco and Buñuel now seem equally aged, if not exactly mellowed. The director and his French wife maintain homes in Mexico and Madrid. Both of his sons dabble in the arts, Raphael as a sculptor, Juan Luis as an experimental-film maker. This fall, the old man returned to his motherland once more, where, again, he is working on his "last" film. Under the sullen skies of Toledo, he directs scenes from Tristana, a dissection of Spanish middle-class society. One scene is purest Buñueliana: a crumpled, baggy-eyed Catherine Deneuve sits...
