...HISTORICAL STUDY of post-Watergate writings, President Bok's "Can Ethics Be Taught?" would probably merit several entries. You can see Watergate's imprint throughout this five-page essay in last month's Change magazine. Bok has thought deeply about the motivations and mistakes of the Watergate criminals. He has wrestled with the public opinion polls showing little confidence in our leaders, lawyers and doctors. And he has decided that his contribution in stemming that tide should be to instill a sense of ethics in college and graduate students. "Can Ethics Be Taught?" is a defense of that mission...
...former political reporter with New York magazine, a book to his name and money in the family, buying a little freedom of the press. Hence, Michael Kramer, the new editor and publisher of [MORE]. And hence, just as every three-bit show biz con artist feels the urge to imprint their feet into the drip-dry cement outside Grumman's Chinese Theater, for posterity, that is, and the virtue of newness, Kramer's facelifting and wholesale suburban renewal of [MORE].

President Ford called Chou "a remarkable leader who has left his imprint not only on the history of modern China but also on the world scene...
...turn back a knife attack and anything up to a .38-cal. bullet, which accounts for 90% to 95% of all handguns in the U.S. A .38-cal. cartridge, for instance, will put a dent in the Kevlar (see cut), but the knit layers absorb the shock, leaving the imprint of the weave on the slug as it blunts into mushroom-shape and then falls harmlessly away. Small wonder that President Ford was reported wearing Kevlar on the New Hampshire hustings and that 50,000 policemen already have or will soon get the new body armor...
