...were starting anew, amid some confusion, the search for a policy of disengagement. Ambassador Ellsworth Bunker and General Creighton Abrams jetted in from Viet Nam, Admiral John McCain from Honolulu, and Philip Habib from the U.S. negotiating team in Paris. They joined Secretary of State William Rogers and the familiar group of Washington-based advisers for a four-hour White House session with Nixon. Such meetings have usually preceded policy announcements, but the White House initially would say nothing after last week's conference. Nixon may discuss Viet Nam in a speech to the United Nations General Assembly this...
Probing ever deeper into the inner world of the atom, nuclear physicists have uncovered an increasingly baffling collection of tiny particles. Besides the familiar neutrons, electrons and protons, they are now pondering dozens of new and strange bits of matter bearing such exotic names as lambdas, pions, kaons and sigmas. Five years ago, in an effort to bring order to this subatomic chaos, Physicists Murray Gell-Mann and George Zweig, both now at Caltech, in dependently dreamed up strange elemental particles-out of which all the others could be constructed. Gell-Mann emphasized that the particles, which he whimsically dubbed...
Died. Betty Gram Swing, 76, longtime champion of women's rights; of heart disease; in Norwalk, Conn. A leader of the National Women's Party, Mrs. Swing was a familiar figure in picket lines on both sides of the Atlantic during and after World War I.

Thus when the First State Bank of Aransas Pass (pop. 8,000) failed to open last week, the F.D.I.C. moved in with what by now has become a familiar operation to many Texans. The bank had speculated in land adjoining the site of a planned metallurgical plant, and lost heavily when the plant did not materialize. The price of failure was borne by First State's shareholders, who do not enjoy any Government protection and who suddenly found their...
...This is familiar Fellini territory, but the maestro has added a few more flamboyant turns of the screw. His camera swoops through the Rome airport during Toby's arrival, catching glimpses of bizarre travelers bathed in demonic orange light, their bodies contorted into poses that are parodies of reality. Indeed, there is almost too much in Never for a short film. Fellini's sometimes prodigal genius threatens to overwhelm the story, which he apparently agreed to do only on the advice of his astrologer. But even to such journeyman projects, Fellini brings the kind of stylistic prestidigitation that...
