...politics. Twice daily, Ron Ziegler faces 40-odd questioners in the crowded White House briefing room. His aim is the straightforward presentation of the news that the White House wants presented -no more, no less. That usually means explaining that a program is under discussion, a decision has not yet been made, an event is being planned. The reporters want to know why, what it all means, who said what to whom. Ziegler rarely tells them. Last week it took reporters two full days to extract from him the admission that the President had had a say in the dropping...
That Grin. A certain distance between reporters and the press secretary is probably inevitable. "There can never be a total meshing," says Ziegler. Yet he is personally popular with newsmen, who consider him a decent fellow in difficult circumstances. As a technician in planning the care and feeding of reporters on presidential trips, Ziegler is rated four stars. The smallest details-down to what sort of wardrobe is necessary-are handled with the smoothness that characterized the Nixon campaign...
Thus begins the autobiography of Christine Keeler, whom some may remember as the call girl in the scandal that forced John Profumo to resign as Britain's Minister of War in 1963.

Every 40 seconds, a new wave cascades from one end of the 2½ acre lagoon, carrying as many as 30 boards and bodies on waves up to five feet high. "You don't have to wait for that big one to come along," says Hawaii's Surfing Champion Fred Hemmings Jr., head instructor at the facility. "The surf is always...
...single film could justify the entire film festival, then this year that film is certainly Ermanno Olmi's One Fine Day. It harks back in some ways to the tradition of postwar Italian realism and its masters, among them Rossellini and De Sica. Yet Olmi's films seem more precise, more tightly constructed, more acute. He has a film maker's sense of composition and a novelist's sense of rhythm and construction. The plot of One Fine Day is much like an anecdote by Chekhov.
