...source, it seems, has chosen sides. To meet this challenge, TIME'S Los Angeles bureau deployed nine correspondents and stringers across the Southwest. For several weeks, they toured the towns and vineyards, traveling thousands of miles and talking to hundreds of people for their report to Writer Keith Johnson and Editor Laurence Barrett...
...proponents of last week's resolution, several of whom have admitted that they were negligent in not objecting much earlier to Viet Nam policy. Its chief sponsor, in fact, was J.

Hostile Confetti. The journey was undertaken to boost "vest pockets of volunteerism," which Mrs. Nixon describes as "those small, splendid efforts of dedicated people that the President spoke about in his Inaugural Address." The cause promises to be for her what national beautification was for Lady Bird Johnson. "I want to make volunteerism the In thing to do," she told a group in Los Angeles. "I think this is the answer to our problems here in America...
