...Supreme Court has made criticism of a public official virtually libel-proof. Only if a newsman maliciously lies in print can a suit be brought successfully. So it was that last month Connecticut Senator Thomas Dodd called off his libel suit against Columnists Drew Pearson and Jack Anderson (TIME, Dec. 22). But Dodd continued to press action against the newsmen for having conspired in the stealing of some of his private documents. It was those documents that Pearson and Anderson had used in the columns that first brought Dodd's financial indiscretions to light. Dodd figured that they...
...night several months ago, while jetting from Manhattan to Detroit to cover a story, CBS Newsman Charles Kuralt, 33, got to wondering about all those tiny clusters of lights in the darkness below. By flitting from one big city to another to report on the latest disaster, he realized, TV newsmen "miss everything in between." "What," he asked, "about the people who live outside the cities? Is the mood of American life really as unsettled as it appears to be on television...
Communication by String. In Viet Nam, the Seals' primary missions are reconnaissance and demolition, and their principal weapons stealth, surprise-and patience. Last week TIME's Glenn Troelstrup became the first newsman in Viet Nam permitted to accompany a Seal team on a mission. Dropped by Navy river patrol boats deep into Viet Cong country southeast of Saigon in the swampy mangrove sector of Rung Sat, the Seals set up an ambush beside a small stream.

During the burial of the 25 enemy dead, CBS Newsman Webster and Cameraman John Smith arrived on the scene from Saigon. Then-perhaps to oblige Smith's need for dramatic footage or their own need for a grisly revenge-Passantino and some other, still unidentified G.I.s took turns cutting the ears off three of the dead enemy soldiers...
...respects-paying call on President Johnson at the LBJ Ranch. For his CBS debut, Barnard was flanked by the two surgeons most prominently identified with artificial hearts and transplantation: Houston's Dr. Michael E. DeBakey and Brooklyn's Dr. Adrian Kantrowitz. He also faced two expert interrogators: Newsman Martin Agronsky and Science Editor Earl Ubell. If anyone showed strain it was Dr. Kantrowitz - understandably, because his transplantation of a heart into a 19-day-old infant had failed after 61 hours. Dr. Barnard was lit up by the glow of a far greater success - the 18-day survival...
