A quiet day at home catching up on homework—principally the extent to which the Soviets are ahead of us on mil. capability in every line. Had a talk with Patti—told her what a bum rap her mother was taking from a few bitchy columnists. Al Haig called—there has been some shooting in the streets of Cairo. He says not serious or widespread. Dinner party & ran “Ragtime.” Both Jimmy Cagney & Pat O’Brien were here. Jimmy now uses a wheel chair since his stroke & has trouble hearing. He was great in the movie.
