...fight for bills for aid to education, consumer protection, liberal trade policies, pension reform and restriction of the President's warmaking powers. Legislative aides have voted him the second most effective Senator (after Democrat Henry M. Jackson) and the most intelligent. But in the aftermath of Watergate, his virtues have the appearance of vices to some outraged citizens. A cautious, scrupulous politician, he rarely speaks out on an issue until he has absorbed all the facts. He was not a perfervid critic of Nixon during Watergate, and on occasion defended the beleaguered President. For this reason, he is sometimes...

Reach to Recovery, an organization composed of mastectomees (TIME, Oct. 14), sends volunteers around to hospitals to visit postoperative patients. They suggest exercises that will help women regain their strength and offer advice on where to obtain breast prostheses and clothing tailored to their particular needs.

President Ford thus gave his support to operations that helped destroy Latin America's oldest democracy. The junta that overthrew the popularly-elected Allende government almost exactly one year ago now rules Chile with an iron fist. Thousands were killed in the aftermath of the coup, and uncounted political prisoners languish in cramped cells, where they are tortured until they "confess." The extensive slums on the edges of Santiago are subject to brutal purges by government troops. The press and other media are rigorously censored, and military leader Gen. Augustus Pinochet says that it may be decades before Chile...
