TACKLES. Richard Harris, Grambling, 6 ft. 5 in., 265 lbs.; and Tody Smith, Southern California, 6 ft. 5 in., 250 lbs. As menacing as any of the great pro linemen Grambling has turned out (Ernie Ladd, Willie Davis, Buck Buchanan), Harris is the quickest of the bunch-as fast, coaches swear, as some of the team's running backs. "When he decides he's going in," says one scout, "that's it. You can't keep him out." Though Southern Cal's Smith missed six games this season because of injuries, he will...
...football fan returns home, weary but exhilarated from his vicarious participation in "the game." And then, in the blah hours of the early morning, he will lighten the dark night of his soul by meditating on the fawnlike grace of a Lance Alworth, the brute power of a Buck Buchanan, the quick, vicious moves of a Ray Nitschke.

A 2½-hour White House meeting at which Nixon delivered a 90-minute monologue, was attended by Presidential Counsellor Bryce Harlow, Speechwriters William Safire and Patrick Buchanan and Political Advisers Harry Dent and Murray Chotiner. TIME Correspondent Simmons Fentress reports the President's admonitions...
...Nixon, despite his disinclination to watch television news and read newspapers and magazines closely, keeps well posted nonetheless. He merely spot-checks the four newspapers* delivered daily to his office, spending more time on the sports pages than anything else. But a four-man staff headed by Speechwriter Pat Buchanan does a great deal of reading and filtering for the President. By 8 o'clock each morning, Buchanan delivers to the President's desk a digest of significant news and commentary. If the President is traveling, the digest is wired...
