...growing lawlessness and violence on our campuses." The Governors took a middle course, voting approval of Nixon's stand but rejecting a proposal by California's Ronald Reagan for a "full" federal investigation of whether the disorders are part of a nationwide plan. New York's Nelson Rockefeller insisted that disturbances should be handled at the state level without federal intervention where possible. Meantime, Father Hesburgh wrote Agnew urging a Governmental hands-off policy for the present...
...have the U.S. baffled. To the irritation of his southern neighbors, President Nixon neither made traditional mention of them in his Inaugural address nor has so far chosen an Assistant Secretary of State for Inter-American Affairs. Last week the President did announce that New York's Governor Nelson Rockefeller, who was a State Department Inter-American Affairs officer under F.D.R. and today maintains a Venezuelan ranch, would make a series of visits "to listen to the leaders" and consult on common goals. It will likely be some time before even Rockefeller can make sense and suggestions...
Kissinger was already consultant to the director of the NSC's Psychological Strategy Board. Nelson Rockefeller took him on in 1956 as director of special Rockefeller Brothers Fund studies. Though Nixon read Nuclear Weapons and Foreign Policy and sent Kissinger an admiring note, the two met only a year ago at a Christmas party.

...long-range political prospect for the recommendations of Nader's group is uncertain. Several Senators--Ribicoff, Magnuson, Nelson, Pastori, and Kennedy--can be expected to be sympathetic to an F.T.C. reform effort; the Kennedy staff has "requested" a copy of the Nader report and the January 25 copy of Business Week reports that three Congressional investigations into the F.T.C. are slated for the spring. More public sentiment for reform may be generated upon commercial publication of the Nader report--leading perhaps to preliminary injunctive power for the Commission if not a change in personnel...
...Apollo 8 Astronauts Frank Borman, James Lovell and William Anders were whisked along a heroes' route that took them to the White House, an appearance before Congress, a ticker-tape parade in Manhattan, a reception at the United Nations and a state dinner hosted by New York Governor Nelson Rockefeller. And even before the glow from Apollo 8 subsided, NASA named Astronauts Michael Collins, 38, Neil Armstrong, 38, and Edwin Aldrin, 37, as the crew of what could be an even more historic flight: the Apollo 11 mission, which may well land the first men on the moon...
