Nixon, as the challenger, will have considerable leeway in shaping the debate. He may choose to capitalize primarily on the sour mood of the moment, or he may choose a more positive, upbeat approach. He may shuttle between the relatively conservative and relatively liberal lines. He is in a good position to take any course, for so far, at least, he has retained an uncommon degree of flexibility. Nothing in the platform, nothing he himself has said, binds him in an unalterable position. Within a few weeks the nation should be able to see how Richard Nixon intends...
Circus Side. NBC this year took a hard-news approach. The only real news, the network obviously decided, was the shifting of votes between Front Runner Nixon and his opposition. But since there was very little "erosion," as possible vote shifts were invariably called, NBC viewers had to watch two days of model reporting in pursuit of a nonstory.

...Venus, the Caltech researchers are not the only radar astronomers mapping that planet. Similar surveying is being carried out by Cornell scientists using the 1,000-ft. dish telescope at Arecibo, Puerto Rico, and by MIT astronomers at two sites in Massachusetts. In March, Venus will again approach Earth. By boosting their radar signal to 450,000 watts, Caltech's electronic cartographers expect to make even more detailed maps...
...Shot in the Dark and The Pink Panther, Gallic gumshoe Jacques Clouseau was played by Peter Sellers with his overfamiliar banana-peel approach to comedy. In Inspector Clouseau, Arkin follows meticulously in his predecessor's flatfootsteps, but the result is only a parody of a parody...
