Leading the conference to a middle ground was UNESCO's director general, Amadou Mahtar M'Bow, of Senegal. He steered his Third World colleagues away from a declaration, originally sponsored by M'Bow himself, intended to counter what they perceive as distorted and inadequate coverage of their affairs (TIME, Nov. 20). The first draft, which sanctioned state control of the press and called for news organizations to publish official replies to "harmful" stories, was replaced by a version ostensibly affirming Western-style press freedoms. Though U.S. delegates would have preferred no declaration, they found the weakened version...
...week, there seemed to be a chance that a let's-be-friends approach might prevail. The Soviets, more concerned with keeping SALT on the right track than with making trouble for Western reporters, appeared to be growing bored with the whole issue.

Cambridge calls an ambulance. He staggers away...he wants...

"The prince would never seek to compromise a single lady," explains the royal equerry. Louisa rails at this "conspeyeracy" but bows to sovereign fate and marries Mr. Trotter, the butler (played by Donald Burton with just the right hint of smarminess). The prince sets them up in a London house designed for discreet visits. In quick succession, Victoria dies, the new King finds that he must bow to propriety and stop going...
...hours of day and night in a way. that Harvard professors, with casual attitudes to first names but rigid ones to office hours, would find quite intolerable. The same student who will don a tuxedo for formal dinner parties and acquiesce in the "sub-fusc" of 3-piece suit, bow-tie, white shirt and gown that Oxford students are required to wear for Finals, may be an ardent devotee of new-wave and disco music. Latin grace at formal dinner in an often centuries-old college hall will be followed by a drink in the bar with jukebox afterwards...
