Whenever he traveled, Henry Kissinger took the State Department with him. When he went to Latin America last year, he took along an expert on the Middle East just in case something happened in that area. Although the Middle East was expected to be one of the major topics of Vance's talks in Moscow, the new Secretary did not have a specialist along...
...together into a logical pattern." So Sider set off across Washington, hunting down and questioning more than 50 people with a stake in the new energy program: Congressmen, Capitol Hill aides, industry executives, environmentalists, public interest lawyers and others. Then, after huddling with fellow Correspondent John Berry, another energy expert, he wired his findings to Associate Editor David Tinnin, who wrote the cover story. Though Schlesinger and his staffers are still hard at work on final details, the result of Sider's probings is, we think, the most thorough preview yet of a program that will affect every American...

According to expert estimates, amateur genealogy now ranks as the third favorite national hobby, after stamp and coin collecting. In fact, says Kenn Stryker-Rodda, associate editor of the venerable New York Genealogical and Biographical Society Record, family history "may now be outstripping philately and numismatics in popular interest." No small part of its allure is that ancestor hunting need not be expensive: the raw material and the rewards are in every family...
