...journalist, says Clark, he worked for newspapers in St. Joseph, Mo., St. Louis and Washington, D.C., before joining TIME'S Chicago bureau in 1962. Since then, his assignments have taken him to Britain, Scandinavia, Africa, Canada and all over the U.S. But his only exposure to the sort of unpleasantness he has found in Viet Nam came in Oxford, Miss. "That was in the fall of 1962, when I cringed behind Doric columns at 'Ole Miss' to avoid Confederate fusillades unleashed to protest the enrollment of James Meredith...
Touching as some of the comments from liberals are, they cannot equal in sheer poignancy the anguish of some conservatives who are learning that Nixon is not the man they thought he was. James Jackson Kilpatrick, a conservative Southern journalist, took a dark look at some of Nixon's appointments in the right-wing newsletter Human Events. "Pat Moynihan's affable face rises like a moon over urban affairs," he wrote, and declared that conservatives had been waiting in vain for a few scraps from the Administration. "Throw us a bone, Mr. President!" he begged...
Died. John Mason Brown, 68, journalist, drama critic and lecturer; of pneumonia; in Manhattan.

As this week's Essay on "The Sad State of Eccentricity" points out, the grand old style of nonconformity has fallen on hard times. Still, no week passes in which journalism is not brightened by the views, habits and idiosyncrasies of people who are willing to question conventional wisdom...
When Richard Nixon lost the California governorship race in 1962, an acerbic English journalist wrote a political obituary. "Nixon's record suggests a man of no principle whatever," chided the pseudonymous columnist "Flavus" in London's New Statesman. Flavus, alias John Freeman, then editor of the socialist weekly, added for good measure in 1964 that Nixon and some other leading Republican hopefuls were "discredited and outmoded purveyors of the irrational...
