...Model of Sobriety. Sundered, stricken Nigeria is a far different place from the fast-developing territory that in 1960 won final independence from Britain and thus became Africa's most populous country. No other on the continent had a more promising future or a more exciting present. Occupying the wide basin of the mighty Niger River, Nigeria's 56 million people had built a sturdy economy and installed an active parliamentary government. Because British colonial law had largely prevented white men from owning land, the enterprise of black traders and businessmen flourished, based on exports of palm oil and cocoa...
...this year took a hard-news approach. The only real news, the network obviously decided, was the shifting of votes between Front Runner Nixon and his opposition. But since there was very little "erosion," as possible vote shifts were invariably called, NBC viewers had to watch two days of model reporting in pursuit of a nonstory. CBS, on the other hand, tended to cover voting trends offscreen. Canvassing every single delegate, some since February, the network organized a running "CBS News Delegate Count."

Like a 707. Top of the new line is the Ambassador, which remains the industry's only car with air conditioning as a standard item. The new version is wider and four inches longer than the 1968 model, adding up to a full-size equivalent of Ford and Chevrolet. A.M.C. hopes that new grille and taillight treatment, a sculptured hood à la Lincoln Continental and a dashboard that would do credit to a Boeing 707 will boost the Ambassador. Currently, 1968-model sales are running slightly behind the 1967 level...
