Reporting for this week's cover story on Dick Cavett, Correspondent Carey Winfrey found himself in an unusual position for a journalist. "Cavett was so pleasant," says Winfrey, "that it actually got to the point where I felt guilty for eating up what little spare time he had." En route to Montauk, Long Island, for a weekend at Cavett's country home, Winfrey discovered that Cavett takes advantage of every moment. Driving his station wagon northward along Route 27, the performer managed to catch his own show by taking sidelong glances at the portable TV balanced precariously...

Telford Taylor, 62, who was the chief U.S. prosecutor at Nuremberg, first adumbrated his theses-without naming names-in his book Nuremberg and Vietnam: an American Tragedy (TIME, Nov. 23, 1970).
