...legislator, Javits resembles a Stakhanovite squirrel. He is a member of five committees and, at latest count, 19 subcommittees, and the chances are that he knows more about what is going on in each of them than any other member, including the chairman. Michigan's Romney refers to him as "the busiest man in the Senate," and the label fits. Much of his time goes into what he calls "our unseen work": the unheralded, rarely acknowledged chore of shepherding a bill through subcommittee, committee, and finally the full chamber...
While many TIME bureaus thus contributed to the story written by Jason McManus and edited by Edward Hughes, the bulk of the reporting task fell naturally to our growing Saigon staff. As the war has escalated so has our personnel count in South Viet Nam. Only a little more than two years ago, the TIME representation there consisted of a single resident nonstaff reporter, aided on frequent occasions by correspondents going in from Hong Kong and Washington. The U.S. military presence then totaled about 16,000. Today, with 335,000 U.S. military on the scene, the TIME-LIFE team includes...
...week he named the first five members of an eight-man "secretariat" that will function as a sort of cabinet, supplement the 60-man privy council that already advises him, and seek to unify the monarchists.

The company has quite a way to turn, but its Kelvinator appliance sales-an estimated 20% of its $1 billion-a-year total -are strong. The erosion that cost A.M.C. 16% of its auto dealers since 1963 has been halted. Evans has enough confidence that he lately increased his stock holdings to nearly $3,000,000, or about 1½% of A.M.C. shares. "What a deal it would be," he muses, "if I could turn that company around...
...this simple tale with elemental force, and acts it accordingly. His natives are not the usual faceless blacks but human beings whose capacity for violence the hero quickly matches. In the script, sparely written by Clint Johnston and Don Peters, a few scraps of English dialogue and African dialect count for less than the surprise of a snapping twig or the insistent throb of drums, injected into the bloodstream of the film like so many shots of adrenaline. Without insulting modern Africa, Naked Prey writes the wild poetry of its past in raw colors...
