...committee also secretly placed an ad in the New York Times, protesting a Times editorial assailing the Nixon mining of Haiphong. The ad claimed to express the opinion of ten independent citizens representing "the people." Phillip Joanou, an official who handled the Nixon committee's advertising, said the ad actually was written in the White House by Charles W. Colson, who was then Nixon's special counsel. The General Accounting Office charged the Nixon committee with violating campaign-fund laws by not reporting the use of its money for these purposes...
...Emperor Hirohito told American visitors that he "cherished a desire to visit the United States and to meet and learn to know her people." More recently, Japanese governments have argued that a visit by the Emperor, now 72, would be a fitting way for the country to express its thanks to the U.S. for its postwar...

...Bank Americard (30 million holders each), do offer stiff competition to the Money Card. And Space Bank, Amexco's computerized hotel-reservation service, has lost money consistently since it was started in 1969. But these problems are minor annoyances to the executives who have made the American Express name synonymous with the U.S. presence abroad. One perverse sign of the company's world prestige: when students surged through Zurich streets to protest the Viet Nam settlement last winter they ignored the U.S. consulate and all other American establishments in the city -but smashed windows at the American Express...
