...COVER is a photomontage by Robert Crandall. The composite picture, containing photos by Steve Schapiro, Jim Wells, Laurence Fink and John Stewart Olson, symbolizes the major problems that face the incoming Administration of President Richard Nixon. The four segments illustrate student protest, the Viet Nam war, the problems of the cities and law and order...
...Nixon inaugural medal shown at the bottom of the cover is the official medallion approved by the new President. The sculptor was Ralph J. Menconi, and the medal itself was struck by the Medallic Art Co. of New York. The three-quarter view of Nixon's face is a departure from the traditional presidential profile.

Repairs were all but impossible in the sub-zero weather, since the flesh of the snowmobilers' hands tended to freeze to the metal of their machines. Several snow mobiles were blown...
...editorial staffers are Italian and, except for the priests, are considered career journalists. They are chosen mainly through personal contacts with the Vatican. L'Osservatore practices little beat reporting as such. If the occasion arises, such as a special papal appearance, a staffer may be sent to cover it. But generally L'Osservatore's commentaries are put together without benefit of firsthand reporting...
