...fourth episode of Viewpoint was broadcast last week from the University of Chicago, where 850 people watched Anchor Ted Koppel in the flesh and half a dozen of his colleagues on monitors. The subject: coverage of foreign affairs. Correspondent John Laurence opened on a skeptical note, calling network correspondents "jet-age ambulance chasers." Koppel closed with a warning that globe-girdling TV technology has given Americans "the illusion that we are familiar with distant places and cultures...
...this week's complex picture of a troubled political system in the heat of a budget crisis, TIME focused on Congress and Senate Majority Leader Howard Baker. To flesh out the picture, our Washington Bureau filed thousands of words to New York, where National Editor John Elson oversaw the project.

Amin juggles the lives of Arab radicals and Jewish captives at Entebbe airport. Amin eats the flesh of an honest judge he has ordered killed. Perhaps Patel too lovingly details the baroque torture, and Joseph Olita's unsteady command of the acting craft often makes Amin seem too cuddly a cannibal. Still, the film serves as an effective comic-book primer on the most colorful mass...
