...election campaign is likely to be one of the bitterest in postwar Britain. The Tories have made no secret of the fact that they are planning a scare campaign on a "Reds under the bed" ticket, blaming assorted Marxists, militants, Trotskyites and "unpatriotic" union leaders for the country's troubles. Their campaign slogan is "Who Gov erns Britain?"-a hard-lining appeal to the voters to choose between Heath's tough stance and the striking workers. Heath, 57, will also exploit past successes like his handling of Northern Ireland, which resulted in a marked reduction of tensions there...
Hide Truth. It was also, of course, a decisive moment in Nixon's own presidency. Whatever the constitutional merits of his case, it is dangerously clouded by the appearance that the President simply has something to hide. For Nixon, this is the bitterest part of the struggle; no matter what high principles he invokes, the separation of powers argument will seem to many only a self-serving excuse to hide the truth.

While they lived, Jefferson and Hamilton had been the bitterest of enemies. Hamilton, who represented the business interests of New York, advocated a strong central government, and more: a strong presidency.

Born. To Dick Gregory, 41, the bitterest and perhaps the best of America's black social satirists, and Lillian Gregory, 34: their tenth child, third son; in Chicago. Name: Yohance. Gregory, who has been fasting since 1971 to protest the war in Southeast Asia, now weighs 116 lbs. (down from 170). He plans-once again-to give up his nightclub act and become-again-a lecturer on the college-campus circuit. He also plans to start eating-again-when the U.S. stops bombing Cambodia...
...Russians, the West Germans see the meeting in essentially the same light. The historical significance of a Soviet leader's setting foot on West German soil is not lost on Bonn, of course. The visit will symbolize the rapprochement, if not yet the reconciliation, between two of the bitterest enemies of World War II. It will also represent another diplomatic trophy for Brandt in his pursuit of Ostpolitik...
