...friendship, Commerce Secretary Maurice Stans and his aides arrived home last week, hopeful that their mission to Moscow would help open a new millennium of trade between the two superpowers. While Stans was busy gaining five pounds from eleven days of Russian hospitality, Soviet-American commerce was likewise growing heftier...
Many viewers presumably tune in not for the comedy but for the country-and-Western songs that fill up nearly one-third of Hee Haw's air time. There are top-name guests, and the hosts themselves are no slouches. Roy Clark-the one who looks like a heftier Sander Van-ocur-was twice the national banjo champion.

He was, quite frankly, resentful of reports (TIME, Nov. 20) that many staffers wanted out from under the pressures that he put upon them. He noted that Aide Jack Valenti, who he once said "gets up with me every morning," now does not arrive at the White House until nearly 9 a.m. He let it be known that his staffers could attend a State Department farewell...
