...Administration has come down on both sides of legislation to aid debt-ridden New York City, to permit a single picketing union to shut down an entire construction project, to strengthen antitrust laws, to reduce income taxes. When his since-departed campaign manager, Bo Callaway, greased the skids for Nelson Rockefeller's slide from the 1976 Ford ticket, the President's silence made him appear weak or devious...
...Forest City, Iowa, Johnny and Bonnie Nelson feel they have the right to resist the claim of Doan Thi Hoang Ann, who lives in Great Falls, Mont.; she insists she is the mother of the fouryear-old Vietnamese child they call Ben. Says Mrs. Nelson: "At first I was trying to look at it as if I were in her shoes. But we couldn't just give him away to someone claiming to be his mother without any proof."

...offers inside news, too, thanks mainly to Ashman, a former attorney-author who has produced noteworthy scoops.

Willie still gets sentimental and ponderous at times, as in "The Healing Hands of Time" but here's nothing as awful as his "Blue Eyes Cryin' in the Rain", thank...
...still seemed unlikely that the Republican delegates, basically the same kind of conservatives who nominated Barry Goldwater in 1964 and only grudgingly accepted Richard Nixon in 1968, would give their nomination to a Democratic turncoat. It seemed far more unlikely that the Republican Convention would move to Vice President Nelson Rockefeller, still a pariah to the party's dominant right wing. Yet Rockefeller will control most of the huge New York delegation (154 delegates, making up 7% of the convention's votes), and he might even be able to determine the outcome. No one knows what he might...
