Elizabeth Taylor rates three minutes, the Rev. Martin Luther King four hours. Some New Frontiersmen get only so-so ratings-President Kennedy 29 minutes, Under Secretary of State Averell Harriman 12.5 minutes. Suspected perpetrator: John Kenneth Galbraith, 54, Harvard economist, until lately U.S. Ambassador to India. Galbraith's McLandress dimension, the book says, is only 1½ minutes.
