...very comforted to see that Richard Nixon may keep a few weekends open in the next three months in order to watch the Washington Redskins in action [Sept. 26]. I hope the President's Cabinet keeps an eye on them also, because it may be the only leadership they will have the pleasure of witnessing during the next 3½years. The leader I am referring to, of course, is Vince Lombardi...
...task has engaged virtually every section of the magazine. TIME'S Jan. 24 issue contained a 20-page special section, "To Heal a Nation," describing the priorities open to President Nixon on his Inauguration. The Viet Nam war-the bloody fighting, the futile peace talks in Paris, the mounting crescendo of protest at home-have occupied the NATION and WORLD sections. Other areas of protest led to NATION cover stories on the debate over the ABM and, indeed, the entire U.S. military-industrial complex, and told of the new militancy among Mexican-Americans led by Cesar Chavez...
...dismay and confusion around the White House and among those who believe that any President deserves support in pursuing his foreign policy. Dean Acheson, no stranger to criticism of his own foreign policy when he was Harry Truman's Secretary of State, weighed in with the observation that open season on Presidents should be limited to "the quadrennial donnybrook," an Achesonism for presidential elections.

...firemen. There were far deeper causes as well. The happy glow cast by Expo 67 has faded. Separatists advocating an independent Quebee have ignited a series of violent demonstrations and bomb explosions. A continuing fiscal crisis-caused in part by the heavy expense of keeping a section of Expo open-has alienated Montrealers from their political leaders. The city's police were particularly angry because their Toronto counterparts receive more pay for less dangerous work. When the city offered the police an increase that still left them $800 short of Toronto's basic $9,200-a-year scale...
...combustion engine can be retained. The only requirement is a natural-gas mixer that fits on top of the carburetor and feeds the new fuel to the present combustion chambers. A dashboard control permits the driver to switch from natural gas in polluted areas to regular gasoline on the open road. With natural gas, the company claims, engine oil lasts up to a year, sparkplugs fire for 50,000 miles, and valve jobs are usually unnecessary. Better yet, 100 cu. ft. of natural gas gives about 15% more mileage than a gallon of gasoline and costs about 63% less...
