...through three separate phases with McGovern's candidacy. Until Edmund Muskie faltered in the primaries, reporters generally consigned McGovern to also-ran status and paid little attention to his ideas. Then coverage focused on the organizational wonders of his nomination drive. During that period, observed the Christian Science Monitor's Godfrey Sperling, McGovern was getting a "free ride" from a largely uncritical press. Finally, the fare went up during the California primary, when journalists joined Hubert Humphrey in picking at McGovern's specific proposals and finding fault with them...
...will satisfy the major whaling nations. Japan has the right to catch 15,700 sperm, sei and fin whales this year, almost half the world total (the few remaining blues and humpbacks are now "protected"). Last spring, the U.S. and Japan made a separate arrangement for the U.S. to monitor Japanese catches, but even now the U.S. observers will see only about 3,000 of the dead whales; the rest are processed on huge factory ships at sea. The Japanese-American agreement-unless it is revised following President Nixon's Hawaii talks with Japanese Premier Kakuei Tanaka-thus means...
...experiment, covering half a square mile near the White House, was devised by the Sperry Rand Corp. under a $4.1 million contract with the Federal Highway Administration. Electronic sensors, embedded in the streets, monitor the flow of vehicles above them. Telephone wires carry the information to a central computer that is programmed to analyze these data immediately, and to send back the appropriate commands to street lights...
...transportation centers are considered military facilities and off limits to photographers. NBC got to keep its film anyway. An ABC team shooting near the Kremlin was also accosted by a cop; he merely wanted to suggest a better camera angle. A security colonel com plained to the Christian Science Monitor that "I have to tell everyone 20 times to stand back," but while the summit lasted, the Russians seemed generally willing to indulge the whims of Western newsmen...
...reach their destination. Instead, the R-Nav computer will enable them to use the signals from existing stations to set up their own straight-line "phantom" path with waystations that will guide them directly from one airport to another. (Ground controllers will still have to approve the route and monitor the flight to avoid conflict with other planes.) Furthermore, R-Nav will relieve bottlenecks near airports. Aircraft will be able to approach the landing runway from a number of different directions; under existing controls, they must all be funneled into the same approach track. Indeed, area navigation should...
