...children were for the most part unaccompanied--an obvious change from last year and the year before, when anxious mothers, fathers, older brothers and sisters held their hands and told them to try not to be afraid if the white folks over where they were headed, in South Boston, Charlestown and Hyde Park, called them names, tried to barricade their buses, or, as grown adults did often and shamelessly in 1974 and 1975, heckled and threw rocks through bus windows at defenseless and orderly children...
...Futureworld, Delos is back in business, run by the sinisterly avuncular Arthur Hill. Everything seems to be humming smoothly, but there is more than a hint that Hill is using the place for his own dastardly purposes. Two ace journalists-an irreverent newspaperman (Peter Fonda) and an anxious, abrasive broadcaster (Blythe Danner) -trace down the truth to the very bowels of Delos itself. Futureworld is daffy and easy to take, with a relaxed, ingratiating performance by Fonda and a very witty, rambunctious one by Ms. Danner, who is altogether one of the niftiest actresses around. Resemblances between Ms. Danner...
...answer to this question. Two weeks ago Viking 2 dropped silently out of space and bumped to a landing on Mars' Utopia Planitia (plains of Utopia), some 4,600 miles east-northeast and almost halfway around the planet from Viking 1 (see map).

Shortly after separation from its lander, the Viking 2 orbiter lost its "lock" on the star Vega and began to roll, breaking its contact with mission controllers at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif. But even as engineers worked feverishly to correct the problem with the orbiter...
Almost two years after resigning as Watergate Special Prosecutor, Leon Jaworski has finally produced his long-expected account of the anxious, turbulent, year-long investigation that he directed into the worst scandal in American history. His book The Right and The Power (Gulf Publishing Co. and Reader's Digest Press; $9.95) is a straightforward, rather dry rendering, often made even drier by lengthy quotes from legal documents. Jaworski, who is donating the royalties to his own nonprofit foundation (which supports religious and educational projects), nonetheless offers some intriguing anecdotes and pungent observations. Among them...
Among moderate Republicans, few are more deeply rooted in the party's past -or more anxious about its future-than Maryland Senator Charles McCurdy Mathias. His great-grandfather, Charles Trail, ran for state senator with Abe Lincoln in 1864. His grandfather, Maryland State Senator John Mathias, campaigned beside Teddy Roosevelt in 1912. Mathias himself was a founder of the Wednesday Club of Republican moderates in both the U.S. House and Senate. On the eve of the Kansas City convention, TIME National Political Correspondent Robert Ajemian visited Mathias and reported...
