...October, thousands of newsmen signed petitions for peace, joined in rallies and donned buttons or armbands. During this month's Moratorium activities, reporter participation was less pronounced but still present. (Not all the involved newsmen, it should be noted, were against the war. The Chattanooga Times, in fact, carried both pro and antiwar ads bought by groups of their own reporters...
...bubble designed by Buckminster Fuller made the U.S. Pavilion the highest-and most striking-building at the fair. For Osaka's Expo 70, the U.S. has come up with a switch: a ground-hugging shallow dome that will be the lowest pavilion at the fair-so low, in fact, that part of it will be underground...

Over the next three months, automakers plan to assemble 2,580,453 vehicles, 417,453 fewer than they made last December, January and February. Automakers blame most of the slowdown on the fact that the public simply is not in the mood to buy. This week Chrysler plans to shut down three of its seven assembly plants for a week and three more for a day, because its dealers are overstocked with 1970 cars...
