SAN CLEMENTE, Calif.
(UPI) — Richard Nixon was
back in seclusion at his

lionaire publisher Walter An
nenberg. The visit culminated
with a dinner party Saturday
night, attended by such nota
bles as Bob Hope and his wife,
former California Gov. Ronald

looking “as if he needed a lot of
gest.”
“He wasn’t as light-hearted
as I’ve known him to be in the
past,” the comedian said. “And
that was rather sad for me.
“It was a very sentimental
evening,” Hope added. “Consid
ering everything, the circum
stances and all, I think
everything went pretty well
considering it was the presi
dent’s first experience socially
since he left the White House.”
This was the first time Nixon
has spent any time away from
his estate since he was
hospitalized for phlebitis last
fall.
