...publicize his latest, Grasshoppers and Elephants (Urizen Books, 256 page, $4.95), an account of the two months preceding the liberation of Saigon. It is not the first book he has written on the Vietnamese struggle. One of the others, Viet Nam Will Win(1968), was widely circulated by the anti-war movement in this country, and it will not be the last (he is currently working on a history of the Vietnamese people and their struggle against 2000 years of would-be colonists...
Price is perhaps on safer ground when he insists that once the chase had started, both Nixon's political opponents and the press went after the embattled president with a special "anti-Nixon" vigor. He argues that in a less hysterical national environment, the final "smoking gun" of August, 1974--the revelation that Nixon had been aware of former Atty. Gen.

Shortly after an armored limousine had brought the Shah and Empress Farah onto the South Lawn, trouble broke out.

In contrast to Reagan's courting of the party organization-traditionally dominated by conservatives-Ford has been playing the elder statesman. By Christmas, he will have logged more than 200,000 miles lecturing college students, playing in golf tournaments, and attending public gatherings. His strategy is to stay as prominent as possible, so that he can move fast if Reagan announces his candidacy. Observes David Liggett, Ford...
...Barre made his final trip to Moscow, where he was snubbed by Soviet President Leonid Brezhnev and was refused the heavy weapons he sought. Barre then visited Saudi Arabia, whose leaders had been trying to woo him away from Moscow for at least three years as part of their anti-Communist strategy to reinforce moderate regimes along the Red Sea and on the Horn of Africa. Barre came away from Jeddah with a reported promise of $300 million; in return, he presumably promised the Saudis that he would get rid of the Russians in his own good time...
