...once the magazine goes to press. Every one of the 1,000 or more letters that arrive in the mail each week receives a reply from TIME'S Letters Department, which is headed by Maria Luisa Cisneros and staffed by 13 assistants. The letters department also performs a less well-known task: answering the 150 or so letters a week from people requesting information-some additional bit of elaboration or an answer to a question. That is the demanding job for Marian Powers, Carla Lyddan and Mimi Olszewska, who find that unwrinkling readers' brows can put a furrow...
...proud to stand behind you and to support you in your earnest quest for peace in the world and for prosperity at home. No man occupied the place that you occupy who didn't want to do the best he could. Some have succeeded, and some have had less success. But of this you can be sure: if all of your days are as successful as today in bringing happiness to your predecessor, you will have a most successful presidency."

Vibrations. In fact, there is little chance of that, since the Agnews and the Senate and House leaders are among the least entertaining folks in Washington. They constitute a sort of vestigial Biplane Set, taking their social life at a less frenetic pace than the jet-setters of the capital's party-go-round.

Associated Press Photographer Horst Faas happened to be sitting in Lieut. Colonel Robert C. Bacon's 3rd Battalion headquarters when it occurred. The brief episode spanned less than an hour, and it directly involved six of Company A's 60 men: five fatigued and panicky G.I.s and Lieut. Eugene Shurtz Jr., 26, a green company commander whose basic error, as another officer put it, was that "he tried to reason with the men when the situation...
Counsels of Caution. Despite the incendiary speeches and the orchestrated street demonstrations in Arab capitals, few experts expected a major conflagration. Part of the world, at least, seemed to be learning to live less nervously with the Arab-Israeli conflict. Last spring President Nixon described the Middle East as a "powder keg," needing only the tiniest spark to explode. Last week, however, Washington viewed the current situation coolly, and the State Department said merely that it was counseling "restraint" to both sides. Moscow made no comment publicly, but U.S. diplomats believe that the Soviets have no interest in escalating hostilities...
