...acquired as many opponents as supporters during his four years in power. As TIME'S Ottawa Bureau Chief Lansing Lamont reported last week, Canadians "remember the sense of expectancy that Trudeau generated in 1968, but have come to realize that he has generally governed Canada with more cautious pragmatism than panache." The Prime Minister was also suffering from television overexposure and a perilously short temper. Once he had demanded of Western farmers: "Why should I sell your wheat?"

...cautious national mood was seen most clearly in New York City, where a new three-year contract was negotiated for 60,000 teachers. The thorniest issues were nonmonetary demands by the teachers-among them, that the school board hire 6,000 guards to patrol the city's public schools, in which reported crimes and acts of violence rose from 333 in 1970 to 580 last year...
