...John Chancellor is good at speaking the friction-free language he calls anchormanese. But he's looking forward to switching roles after seven highly visible, highly paid years in a job that mostly requires him to set a scene briefly before switching to a correspondent-a snippety, jigsaw process he considers "challenging but not rewarding." He wants to be a commentator. Last summer, with the approach of Eric Sevareid's retirement, CBS News President Dick Salant talked to Chancellor about the job. Chancellor was intrigued but decided to stay with NBC, and in his new ten-year contract...
...much freer will Chancellor be to speak his piece as commentator? That too is something of a neuter craft. Even as gifted a wordsmith and observer as Sevareid could, on days when his brow was furrowed but his mind only half engaged, sound merely sententious. As the CBS News code defines the job, the analyst is "to help the listener to understand, to weigh and to judge, but not to do the judging for him . . . the audience should be left with no impression as to which side the analyst himself actually favors...
...policy could lead to at least a temporary paralysis of Israeli diplomacy. In his Knesset speech, Begin insisted that Israel was not seeking a separate peace with Egypt or attempting to "drive any wedges between Arab countries."

Starting Jan. 1, however, the government of Socialist Chancellor Bruno Kreisky will abolish 502 of the splendid titles bestowed upon civil servants under the Austro-Hungarian Empire and, until now, faithfully preserved by two Austrian republics. A mere 108 titles will remain in official use. Many of these will be simplified in an attempt to humanize and democratize relations between Austria's 7.5 million citizens and its 345,000 federal bureaucrats, who are notorious for their sloth and discourtesy...
...helping to set up the visit-though it undoubtedly would have occurred in any case. During Sadat's flight from Cairo three of his four journalist guests* on the plane were ABC's Barbara Walters ("Barbara, so you did come!"), Cronkite and NBC's John Chancellor. For three days the late 20th century's video technology monitored the principals in one of the planet's oldest enmities, as they performed for the world on their biblical home ground. The effect was eerie and complicated. Sometimes it produced a charming bathos, as when, under...
