...crime problem from rioting and racial tension. He had dealt with that in an earlier position paper stressing the need for black economic progress (TIME, May 3). Last week his statement on racial accommodation drew praise from an unexpected source-the militant Congress of Racial Equality, which put forward its own plan for Negro selfhelp. Roy Innis, CORE associate national director, said Nixon's speech "opened the eyes of a lot of people" and made him a "contender for the black vote." Until now Nixon has not been particularly popular among Negro leaders. If Innis starts a trend...
...search for solutions, there is no point in attempting to take nature back to its pristine purity. The approach must look forward. There is no question that just as technology has polluted the country, it can also depollute it. The real question is whether enough citizens want action.

It sounded mostly like pride talking when one Boston player said: "What difference does it make if you are 90, as long as you can play basketball...
...Colicos turns the role into a realm. He achieves one of those memorable personifications where the actor imperceptibly fuses artifice and reality. He dominates the stage with feral tenacity, and there is an uncannily mnemonic effect in his feat of physical resemblance. The pudgy hands thrust the walking stick forward like an advance scout probing enemy territory; the pouty lips nurse the huge cigar; the gruff, lisping voice rasps out even cadences like waves beating on the shore. Many of the words he is given to say, however, seem in closer accord with der Führer Prinzip than with...
