Daniel Patrick Moynihan [Dec. 8] is the right man in the right job at the right time. Far from being a "shoot-from-the-hip Wyatt Earp," he is an unerring marksman, judging from the cries of pain from his targets...

We will join your efforts," Secretary of State Kissinger told the U.N. last September in a speech read for him by Moynihan. In it, the U.S. offered more than two dozen measures aimed at improving the poor countries' prospects for growth (TIME, Sept. 15). Washington also agreed to attend this week's ministerial-level Paris Conference on International Economic Cooperation, backing down from its original insistence that the agenda be limited...
