...subdued and ill at ease, anxious to stick to the schedule and limit the hoopla. Brezhnev, though largely kept out of public range for security reasons, acted when he had an audience like a back-slapping drummer. He took every opportunity to clown for photographers, converse with reporters and mix with folks, chatting and shaking hands. There were moments when the President of the U.S. almost found himself shunted to the sidelines, and on one occasion Nixon observed: "He's the best politician in the room...
...important experiment. Firing up their electronic furnace, they melted different materials in a test of techniques that could eventually lead to production in space of nearly perfect ball bearings, impurity-free lenses and precision crystalline electronic components. In contrast to such processes on earth, the materials should mix thoroughly during melting (without heavier components sinking to the bottom), and no containers would be needed that could introduce contaminants...
...Untidy Mix. As head of a Senate committee, Ervin has a constitutional right to press ahead, but his statement of the conflict between "the truth" and "sending one or two people to jail" seemed to concede Cox's point that the hearings might impair future legal proceedings. A concurring opinion came from Massachusetts Judge Paul Reardon, who drafted the A.B.A.'s free press-fair trial guidelines: "The Sixth Amendment, which guarantees the accused the right to a speedy public trial by an impartial jury, is going down the drain in this affair...
...distant, raised eye of the London Times, the untidy mix of prosecutors, press and Congress seemed almost to amount to "a lynching" of the President. A Times editorial scored Ervin's committee for publicizing hearsay, the Watergate grand jury for considering prejudicial evidence, and the newspapers (especially the New York Times and the Washington Post) for publishing leaks. It complained that much out of-court evidence, like that being offered by John Dean, was "not given under oath, not open to crossexamination" and is thus of a quality that "could hardly be less satisfactory. Yet on this evidence could...
...list of titles that the Press publishes. According to Rosenthal, 120 of the Press's 2300 titles comprise 50 per cent of the Press's business. And of these 2300 over 1000 sell less than $500 annually. With this fact in mind, Rosenthal wants to improve the editorial "mix" of the books on the Press's list of publications. The press will continue to publish unheralded scholarly works, but it will also go after authors who will have obvious public appeal. By integrating the two, the popular books will cover financially the "unpopular" ones...
