...Service installed the usual safety devices (an electronic-eyed brick-and-redwood fence for $39,000). His last major speech was in June, and his main official work consisted of playing host to state visitors. In short, even by vice-presidential standards, Agnew was keeping a low profile.

Faced with that dilemma, most oilmen have taken a supercautious stance, either saying nothing at all about Middle East politics or confining their statements to general appeals for "peace" to which neither Arabs nor Jews could object. If any proof of the wisdom of that policy were needed, it has now been supplied by Standard Oil Co. of California...
