Nixon's first social appearance outside San Clemente came two weeks ago near Palm Springs, Calif., at the opulent estate of Walter Annenberg, former U.S. Ambassador to Great Britain and a longtime Nixon friend. Nixon and Pat arrived with the ex-President's military aide, Marine Colonel Jack Brennan, and six Secret Service men in tow. Nixon's recovery from surgery last October has been gradual, and he occasionally favors his left leg, but he managed to play two holes of golf on Annenberg's private 18-hole course; his swing was surprisingly good, and there...
Mixing Freely. The highlight of the Nixons' five-day visit was a dinner party for eleven couples, including fellow Annenberg house guests Ronald and Nancy Reagan. Among those who wheeled past the well-guarded gates of the electric-fenced 220-acre spread in Rolls-Royces and Cadillacs were Frank Sinatra, escorting longtime Companion Barbara Marx; U.S. Ambassador to Belgium Leonard Firestone and his wife Barbara; Standard Oil of Indiana Chairman John Swearingen and his wife Bonnie; Los Angeles Auto Dealer Holmes Tuttle, a star G.O.P. fund raiser, and his wife Virginia; and onetime Radio Star Freeman Gosden (Amos...

There, it caused the intermittent but painful swelling that bothered Nixon on his trip to the Middle East last June and, more severely, during his five-day stay at the Annenberg estate in Palm Springs early in September. At some point, Nixon's physicians say, a part of that clot, or possibly a new one, broke loose. The embolus was carried away in the bloodstream, like debris in a fast-flowing river, through the iliac vein and the inferior vena cava...
Seeking sun and solace, Nixon had moved from one opulent California fortress to another. Just before the pardon was announced, he and Pat left fog-shrouded San Clemente and drove 150 miles east to the 200-acre Palm Springs estate of his friend Walter Annenberg, U.S. Ambassador to Britain. But his swollen and painful leg kept Nixon indoors, away from the 18-hole golf course and eleven gravity-fed lakes and pools. On Thursday night two helicopters carried the former President and his entourage back to San Clemente. The next morning Nixon's personal physician, Dr. Walter Tkach, flew...
...Fixit." The President has offered the high post of Ambassador to Britain to Senator J. William Fulbright, 69, the Foreign Relations Committee chairman who was defeated in the Arkansas primary. He would be a considerable improvement over Ambassador Walter Annenberg, a millionaire Nixon friend. But Fulbright's wife is ill and he will postpone a decision until after he returns next week from China...
