...Agnew crisis began with a story by the Washington Post quoting an unnamed "senior Republican figure" as saying that he came away from more than two hours of conversation with Agnew "99½% certain he will resign - and probably this week." The Post gave the story an eight-column banner headline, but its punch came from the fact that it was written by David S. Broder. A Pulitzer prizewinner, Broder not only has excellent Agnew sources - he was the first to say that Nixon was considering the little-known Maryland Governor as his running mate...
...flown since the 13th century and the Polish flag upside down. As a model of what a flag ought to be, Smith points to that of Guyana: a boldly simple design with a red triangle and a gold arrowhead on a green field. It just happens that the banner was designed by Smith himself. "I wrote to [Guyana's former Prime Minister] Cheddi Jagan, as I always do to leaders of newly independent countries, and sent in a design," he recalls. "Nothing was heard for a while until finally a Guyanese flag arrived in the mail, and I said...
...might be argued that vexillologists, being relative latecomers to the flag scene, have already missed most of the action. Not so, the vexillologists insist. There are new nations in the making all the time, and there are old ones that could stand a change of banner.

A return to the original thirteen stars would, the vexillologists say, "be a fine birthday present for the U.S. at its bicentennial." Not to mention pleasing to the seventh congress of vexillologists, which is scheduled...
Compared with the punctilious reception accorded Richard Nixon upon his arrival in Peking, French President Georges Pompidou enjoyed gala ribbon-and-banner treatment at the start of his week-long visit to China. More than 4,000 brightly dressed schoolgirls were at the airport last week to cheer and wave at the arriving 15-man French delegation. Seven of China's new 25-member Politburo were also on hand, including Premier Chou En-lai and the newly risen star Wang Hung-wen (TIME, Sept. 17). Pompidou himself matched the warmth of his welcome. Beginning his two-hour meeting with...
Statistics alone cannot adequately measure the impact of McDonald's on U.S. life. The company's relentless advertising campaign ($50 million budgeted this year) has made the McDonald's jingle, You Deserve a Break Today, almost as familiar as The Star-Spangled Banner. But the chain's managers have wrought their greatest achievement by taking a familiar American institution, the greasy-spoon hamburger joint, and transforming it into a totally different though no less quintessentially American operation: a computerized, standardized, premeasured, superclean production machine efficient enough to give even the chiefs of General Motors food...
