New York, May 7, 1975: Martha Mitchell (2nd R) shares big laugh with hostess
Pat Collins (L). Mrs. Mitchell, estranged wife of former Attorney General John N. Mitchell, said she was "terribly frightened" during President Nixon's last months in office by the thought that he could "activate all those missiles just by pushing a button." She appeared with playwright Truman Capote (dark glasses) and writer-author Jimmy Breslin (R) on CBS-TV's "Pat Collins Show." (Bettmann/Corbis)
