...polls has narrowed, both candidates have imported big-name backers across state lines???including, in Bateman's case, the peripatetic Liz Taylor. The same day that Rosalynn Carter was saying, "Brendan, we need you," in southern New Jersey, former President Gerald Ford appeared upstate in Morris County. Still the same old Jerry, he told the crowd: "I'm glad to be here to help you get Ray Bateman elected Governor of Michigan."

...screening is arduous, however. While Lyndon Johnson proudly showed visitors his 60-button telephone console, Nixon has just three direct lines???to Haldeman, Ehrlichman and Kissinger. Only four Cabinet members can count on getting through to Nixon at any time: Mitchell, of course, and Secretary of State William Rogers, Defense Secretary Melvin Laird and Labor Secretary George Shultz. Every program proposal is "staffed out," since Nixon dislikes to be unprepared when a visitor springs an idea on him. Haldeman supplies him with dossiers on everyone he is to see each day. In the competition for Nixon's attention, many ideas...

Liturgies will continue to develop along two lines???the informal, at-home or small-group service, perhaps built around a neighborhood gathering or encounter session, and the bigger-than-ever cathedral celebration.

...outpost of Khe Sanh. There are alternate means of supplying Khe Sanh, but Route 1, which connects with Khe Sanh via Route 9, is the best, and will thus not be left gladly in enemy hands. One of Giap's aims in his general offensive is to stretch U.S. lines???and U.S. troop deployments?as thin and as wide as he can, forcing General Westmoreland to make difficult choices of priority...

...Japanese invaded the Philippines after Pearl Harbor, the stage was set for another leap in the Marcos legend. Called to duty as an intelligence officer, 2nd Lieut. Marcos required only a few weeks to become a hero. His idea of intelligence duty was to prowl behind the Japanese lines???often in his personal Oldsmobile sedan?probing for weak spots. He found one on Bataan's Mount Natib: a Japanese military battery that was lobbing 70-mm. shells into U.S. General Jonathan Wainwright's beleaguered defenders. Marcos and three privates scouted the battery, trailing two bearded Japanese artillerymen to it, then...
