THE WEEK

■ Making this season’s pilgrimage to Hanoi were Joan Baez, Viet Vet agin War Barry Romo, a Yale Divinity School prelate (Associate Dean Michael Allen), and, slipping socially, Telford Taylor, chief U.S. prosecutor at Nuremberg and a former general. Meanwhile, back home, Ramsey Clark helped launch a $3-million fundraising drive to rebuild a damaged Hanoi hospital. Though Clark hates war more than almost anything, the donation apparently will not depend upon a North Vietnamese promise to reorder their priorities.

■ From now on Bob Hope will be home for Christmas, and it doesn’t seem like there’s anybody to take his place—no offense meant, Cardinal Cooke. Hope’s show was practically the same every year; the only thing different was his entourage of pretty costars, and that’s the way our men overseas wanted it. Jane Fonda and Joan Baez, of course, still visit the troops but the troops are usually North Vietnamese. The two don’t seem to feel at home visiting Americans. Bob Hope was very much at home.
