In an unusually candid hour-long interview with TIME Correspondent Marsh Clark last week, Thieu stoutly defended his government and insisted on its continuance at least until the elections scheduled for 1971. Among the questions and answers...
...clergymen rescheduled evensong services in order to avoid losing their congregations. An estimated 17 million viewers tuned in each week. Hostesses had to schedule dinner parties around the series. Sunday night bingo attendance slumped. It even became something of an international obsession. In New Zealand, cricket matches began an hour earlier. In Yugoslavia, where the series was aired, new editions of Galsworthy's works have been brought out in Serbian and Croatian.

Opening night it was Chicago (that toddlin' town), which the girls cheerily hymned as "the convention center of the nation...
Proposals for a four-day working week have a familiar ring, but last week shorter hours for the same pay became a more likely prospect for the 1970s. I. W. Abel, president of the United Steelworkers of America, served notice that the shorter week will top the list of his union's demands in 1971 contract negotiations.
