...better. This year Stewart, 30, has replaced King James as the Scottish ruler of the road. Last March, in the South African Grand Prix, first of the 1969 world championship Formula I series races, he roared into the lead on the very first lap, and has rarely been behind since. In the most astonishing driving display in Grand Prix history, Jackie raced his 430-h.p. Matra-Ford M580 to victories in Spain, The Netherlands and France. He lost at Monte Carlo only after a faulty drive shaft forced him to drop out one-third of the way through the race...
...efficient curb-shearing line around corners, which gives him an extra jump into the straightaway. At Silverstone, he crashed his car during a trial run, and had to race in a slightly inferior model usually driven by a teammate. On top of that, his clutch jammed on the fourth lap and he was forced to powershift for the remaining 80. Yet his average speed of 127.25 m.p.h. was nearly 10 m.p.h. faster than the existing track record-set in 1967 by Clark...
...although they will not be operational for several years. If the cycle of ABM-MIRV goes on unabated, both nations will be tempted to spend great sums of money that will not really increase their security; the new weapons may, in fact, diminish safety. The prospect of a new lap in the arms race could also decrease the chances for serious agreement during the strategic arms-limitation talks that the U.S. hopes to begin with the U.S.S.R. next month. ABM development has not yet done that. The Soviets have not interpreted Safeguard as sufficiently hostile to keep them from taking...
...Lap Dogs. Many of the attacks, including that against Mississippi's WLBT, have risen from a common source: the United Church of Christ, a group long active in civil rights work. The Rev. Everett C. Parker, 56, director of the church's office of communications, has not only won a crucial appeals court ruling that citizens' groups have every right to oppose TV-license renewals, but has helped organize local groups to carry on such fights. Rather than risk being dragged before the FCC or into court, KTAL-TV of Texarkana recently agreed in a private contract...
Parker denounces the FCC as "the lap dog of the broadcasting industry." The commission, however, is caught between the courts and the Congress. There is strong support for Rhode Island Democrat John Pastore's Senate bill to force the commission to grant licenses in near perpetuity. The measure would forbid the FCC from considering TV-license applications by anybody but the existing holder, unless he has already been denied a renewal. With Judge Burger's decision, the lines have been drawn for another collision and the outcome could easily alter the functions of the FCC and, in consequence...
