...often 6 p.m. before he can get away in his golf cart to the nearby villa. Cabinet ministers, aides, politicians and Republican candidates churn in and out of the small city (pop. 17,000) as the business of state continues. Nixon's changes of scene, of course, inevitably alter San Clemente's own scene for both good and ill. To assess the changes, TIME Correspondents Simmons Fentress and Timothy Tyler collaborated on this report...
What with books being published daily that attempt to alter history, I thought it might be well at least to give Swope credit for this creation, not forgetting three Pulitzer prizes the paper won under his stewardship-and a cover of TIME for Swope himself...
...sure, Last Things is technically about death. Snow's alter ego, Sir Lewis Eliot, reaches his 60s. A number of old friends die, as old friends will. And on Nov. 28, 1965, Eliot's heart stops for 3½ minutes during an operation for floating retina. Many medical details and a hint of geriatrics, though, do not add up to a philosophical treatment of death. In the end, Last Things is less an ode to mortality than a lip reading through the obituary column...
Quickened Change. Seldom has the arrival of new hardware stirred such excitement in the entertainment and communications industry, or aroused such anxiety among the potential victims of change. Enthusiasts insist that video cartridges in time will radically alter the status quo in television, motion pictures, theater, music, journalism, book publishing and many other fields. Some futurists, notably Alvin Toffler, author of Future Shock (TIME, Aug. 3), argue that TV cassettes will quicken the already bewildering pace of change in American life, carrying the U.S. farther away from standardization in the arts, education and cultural tastes. Many young TV makers feel...
...speculative theories of aging are now being tested in scientific laboratories round the world. The method or methods by which the human life-span will be extended depend on which of these theories turns out to be correct. Some of them have to do with genetic engineering-attempts to alter the program of the cell by changing the coding on the DNA molecule. But nongenetic theories will probably pay off sooner. One current favorite holds that aging occurs because certain giant molecules in human cells eventually get bound together. These immobile aggregations clog the cells, reduce their efficiency and eventually...
