...plans an audacious variation of news practice in its expensive new contract with Henry Kissinger. Not only does it plan to use him, as CBS and ABC proposed to do in their spirited bidding for his services, as an interview subject discussing his memoirs when they are published. It wants to put him on an annual foreign-news documentary, and to use him on big breaking stories, being cross-questioned by John Chancellor and David Brinkley on the nightly news. In a way, this is to put the fox among the hens. It is to mix together presumably disinterested commentators...
...wrote our cover story on J.D. Salinger (TIME, Sept. 15, 1961)-Skow lives sequestered with his family in a New Hampshire country house that he heats entirely by wood. Says he: "My main occupation is splitting billets of maple and birch." Being in good shape helped on his first interview with Ronstadt, when he suddenly found himself jogging up Fifth Avenue at 10 p.m.-she in Frye boots and lynx coat, he in jacket...
Jordan's King Hussein has long favored Unking his country with a Palestinian state. Earlier this month, in an interview with TIME (Feb. 14), he said: "Some years ago we had the vision to suggest a federation of Palestine and Jordan. Now maybe this plan can be looked at again."

Vance, however, told newsmen that Sadat...
Howe's thesis is strong, her approach striking. But while the descriptive, interview-laden method is the book's strongest point, Howe's handling of it frequently detracts from the point she is trying to make. Letting the women speak for themselves is admirable; getting caught up in their personal lives to the extent that their stories obstruct analysis verges on bathos. Howe's descriptions come perilously close to true confessions--and this tendency becomes an overly heavy counterweight to abstract statistics. Her opening and closing chapters raise questions about the societal foundations underlying women's place in the labor...
...many manuscripts himself. "When I see a long word that I don't know, I take it out," he says. Lately Flynt has hired experienced editors to help him, waged a high-minded campaign against smoking and scored a minor coup by signing Norman Mailer to do an interview with John Ehrlichman-for $12,500. Untaken offers include $1 million each to Gloria Steinem, Raquel Welch, Julie Nixon Eisenhower and Barbara Walters, among others, to pose in the nude...
