...biggest reaction to a recent TIME article came after the cover story two weeks ago on herpes. Many readers were eager to send the article to others. A U.S. Marine Corps officer at Cherry Point, N.C., asked for (and received) permission to photocopy the story for his troops. Eileen Ford, who heads the biggest New York City modeling agency, was concerned about her troops too. She sent copies of the herpes story to all her models. Novelist John Irving mailed copies to his children, who were away at summer camp...
...privately warned the government of Golda Meir not to cut off food and water to 20,000 trapped Egyptian soldiers. But it was not until 1975 that relations were once again seriously strained. Angered over Israel's intransigence in the negotiations for troop withdrawals from the Sinai, Gerald Ford dramatically announced a "reassessment" of U.S. policies in the Middle East and suspended consideration of Israel's request for $2.5 million...

Henry Kissinger had a pact with Gerald Ford to meet at least a half-hour every working day the two were in the same city. "It could not be that a President and a Secretary of State, who between them hold the predominant position in Government, had nothing to say to each other," recalls Kissinger...
...growing number of Adventists are having their doubts about White's teachings. In the late 1970s, Desmond Ford, a prominent Australian theologian who was teaching at the church-run Pacific Union College in California, made the case that White's "sanctuary" explication of 1844 no longer stood up in the light of the Bible, and that "investigative judgment" undercut the whole basis of Protestantism: belief in salvation by God's grace apart from good works. This prompted the founding of a dissident bimonthly, Evangelica, based in Napa, Calif. Before long, the church forced the resignation or expulsion...
