...peasants of Binhdinh province say the rats this year are thick as a man's leg from eating the crops. Is there no rat poison available? Yes, there is the kind sold by the government for $1.65 a lb., but it seems to make the rats fatter and healthier. A better poison is sold by merchants for $3 a lb.-too expensive. Actually, both are the same-but the one poison has been diluted to ineffectiveness by government officials who sell the real thing on the black market...
...Corps. Stephen Smith -Jean Kennedy's husband-is special assistant to the head of the White House "Crisis Center." Actor Peter Lawford-Pat Kennedy's husband-helped pay off Democratic debts by co-producing an inaugural extravaganza, still shows up at Kennedy conclaves, sometimes with the Hollywood Rat Pack in tow. Until he suffered a stroke last month, Father Joe was in regular touch with the President, offering encouragement and loyalty...

I don't want to sound phony, but I consider it a privilege to live in the same era Frank...
...Friedman's Salamander (in New World Writing) is a sweet, sad, perceptive story of how a seven-year-old New York boy becomes a philosopher. B. H. Friedman's Whisper (in Noble Savage) is a softly sizzling portrait of the big-town big shot caught in the rat race and insisting he loves it. Joseph Kostolefsky, in the same magazine, refashions arty cliché with a lethal satire called An All-Purpose Serious Sensitive Prize-Winning Story. In Contact, John Phillips, son of J. P. Marquand, writes a mordant story of an ex-G.I. and his wife...
