...daughter who devotes most of her attention to caring for her "atomic flowers." (Miss Kurtz, however, has a tendency to play too many of her emotional cards too early; a little more passivity in the first act would pay larger dividends in the second.) There is also Ethel Woodruff in the potentially unrewarding part of the decrepit boarder. Miss Woodruff looks not unlike a pet rabbit who is murdered during the course of the drama; her pink eyes stare painfully ahead as if death were some shabby stranger waving in the faint distance, and I found her portrayal so credible...
...Gamon, who practices in Cheney (pop. 6,407), has nothing but praise for Medex Robert Woodruff, a former Army medic who helps him provide medical care at Eastern Washington State College. "He has good rapport with the students, who come back often and ask for him," says Gamon. Patients are equally impressed with the work of ex-Navy Corpsman Ronald Graves, a veteran of Marine combat in Viet Nam, who now works with Dr. Marshall Thompson in Davenport.

But you neglect his one really important prediction, "Richard Nixon will gain great popularity in 1970. Comes time for reelection, I guarantee that he will be almost unopposed." Ah, but you don't like that...
...evening's biggest laughs. . . . The boy's hobby was stamp collecting, and who should help him with his hobby but President Franklin D. Roosevelt. That called for a thank-you note. Last week it was discovered among the President's papers: . . . Clairvoyant Maurice Woodruff makes the following predictions in the current McCall's: Jackie Onassis will have a son this year, but her marriage "won't last more than another year and a half or two years." (It is Ari who will leave, according to the seer.) Ethel Kennedy will go into politics; Ronald Reagan...
