...taped to his bedroom wall. His conversation is salted with sports slang and four-letter words. He has taken up karate and given up many of the rich foods that he and Barbra used to enjoy (particularly Chinese food and coffee ice cream). He constantly munches sunflower seeds. Director Dick Rush swears that he could track Gould on the set of Getting Straight by the trail of sunflower husks he would leave behind. At one point the prop man heard about a bargain in sunflower seeds and presented Gould with 1,000 bags that he had bought cheap...
...business meetings just to get in an hour on the basketball court. Brodsky-Gould Productions has already produced one movie (Feiffer's Little Murders) and has an enviable list of properties waiting ?Bernard Malamud's The Assistant, for example, and Bruce Jay Friedman's new novel The Dick. The partners plan to make at least four more films by the end of next year, including a freeform adaptation of that bestselling catechism, Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Sex. Elliott even talks about taking advantage of some of Charlie Lowe's singing lessons by giving a concert...
Many men, of course, are appalled by distorted visions of the liberated woman's Utopia, a sort of all-female 1984.

A boomlet of children's books about mothers who work has already begun, and liberated parents and editors are beginning to pressure for change in the textbook industry. Fiction writing will change more gradually, but romantic novels with wilting heroines and swashbuckling heroes will be reduced to historical value. Or perhaps to the sadomasochist trade. (Marjorie Morningstar, a romantic...
...publisher of New York's hardhatted morning tabloid, the Daily News. It is not a new correspondence; Nixon also wrote to the News when he was Vice President and later, when he was out of office trying to get back in. (In those days the letters were signed "Dick.") So it was no big surprise when the President dropped by the News offices in Manhattan last week for a friendly chat with Flynn and his top editors. No wonder, either, that one of those around the table was the man who writes almost all the nice Nixon editorials, Reuben...
