Despite his amiability, controversy frequently dogged him. His refusal to honor his union's picket lines during a 1967 strike by the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists aroused the ire of many colleagues. (Huntley argued that AFTRA is a union of "singers, actors, jugglers, announcers, entertainers and comedians, whose problems have no relation to ours.") The Nixon White House regarded him as a special thorn, and internal memorandums depicted him as a paradigm of the influential journalists who badgered the Administration. Further criticism followed his decision-after retiring from the program-to lend his anchor...
...more bombs exploded at office buildings in the heart of London. Although there have been more than 40 bombing incidents in the past month, no one−extraordinarily−has been killed.

Owens III, a black attorney and millionaire heir of a moving company, broke with his fellow CCA councillors over the selection...
Barbie was half-forgotten until 1971, when a Munich court handling litigation by some of Barbie's victims finally decided that it could take no action in the case. That aroused the ire of Beate Klarsfeld, then 32, a Berlin-born Protestant who had married a French Jew. "I don't wish to be ashamed of my people," she said. "It is my duty not to allow war criminals to be considered as fine upstanding citizens." Mrs. Klarsfeld held press conferences, organized demonstrations, circulated photographs and generally made such a fuss that she finally got a letter from...
