Self-restraint is a must in television interviewing also. Mike Wallace began as a hard-edged, on-camera prosecutor, but has since developed an effective backhand-a disarming, disbelieving smile when confronted with obviously unpersuasive answers. The thoughtful Edwin Newman is so self-effacing that at times he seems to be turning away from the camera. Barbara Walters often offers a quickstep apology for asking a sharp question, then zeroes right in. Bill Moyers is a moralizer whose imponderable "big" questions sometimes drive his hapless subjects to embarrassingly hasty profundities. But all of these interviewers know that their...
...even less than we did this year." Urging Government subsidies of $10,000 a year for top U.S. amateurs, Robinson added, "It's tough to beat athletes from other countries when they are kept like professionals." One U.S. gold medalist who disagreed was 400-meter Hurdler Edwin Moses (47.64 sec.), a physics major at Morehouse College in Atlanta. His view: "I run because I like...

Even Dr. Edwin D. Kilbourne of New York's Mount Sinai School of Medicine, a leading proponent of the Ford program, concedes that the Fort Dix outbreak could have been a "freak occurrence." Complicating matters further, the vaccine, grown in fertilized eggs from "seed" viruses developed in Kilbourne's lab, has been only...
