...Cover. Cartoon by Patrick Bruce Oliphant, whose work has often appeared in TIME but never before as a cover. In the tracing above, the first figure from the left (1) is Defense Secretary Melvin Laird clutching his hard-won ABM, while a general (2) expresses the Pentagon's pleasure. The cigarette-puffing baker (3) is Congress, serving up half a loaf of surtax. Above and to the right stands a G.I. (4) in the process of dropping his equipment into the arms of South Viet Nam's President Thieu (5). Below, Rumania's President Ceausescu (6) listens...
...Striking Hard. The bill is a sound one. In addition to repealing the 7% investment-tax credit as recommended by President Nixon, it strikes at what most taxpayers regard, perhaps justifiably, as the very citadel of special tax privilege - the 27½% oil-depletion allowance. By cutting the allowance to 20% and reducing the depletion advantages for other extractive industries, the bill would enrich the Treasury by $400 million annually.

Eakins came to his insight the hard way-through his own dashed hopes and disillusionments. His distinguished teaching career at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts had ended abruptly when he insisted on the need for students to draw from nude models. His great medical pictures, The Agnew Clinic and The Gross Clinic-which would serve as touchstones for a later generation of realists-had been greeted with critical jeers. He rarely sold a painting, subsisting on a small private income. The year before he met the clerics, his father had died. Eakins himself was an agnostic...
...virtually invisible to live audiences-limiting him to records, movies, one TV special and no interviews. Now is the time, the Colonel senses, for the comeback bid. Teen-agers seem to be tiring of bloodless electronic experimentation and intellectualism, and may be ready to discover for themselves the simplistic, hard-driving Big Beat-as the '50s generation discovered it after the cool complexities of bop and progressive jazz...
