Reporters who fought his candidacy now ask with only faint smiles if their income taxes will be checked. Past Mollenhoff victims wonder if rekindled attacks will be forthcoming. A friendly, bearish man off the beat. Mollenhoff is unremitting in his efforts to scourge those who do not meet his standards. Once asked when he would cease hounding a man. Mollenhoff replied, "When he drops." By the time he joined the White House, many were already weary of his zealotry. But with his new powers, Mollenhoff, 48, is a still fiercer hunter. There is even a rumor making the rounds that...
...Said former Argentine President Arturo Illia, who was deposed by the military in 1966: "It is a concrete diagnosis, but not a cure. The situation is more serious than is expressed by Nixon."

Almost immediately, signs of hostility were apparent. As a gesture of welcome, local officials had banana trees planted along the road. When Kenyatta drove past, however, cattle and goats set loose by Luo farmers were placidly munching the bananas. At a mass rally to dedicate a $3,500,000 Russian-built hospital, tension sharpened. As Odinga stood by, KPU hecklers shouted "Dume" (pronounced du-may and meaning "bull"), the party's slogan, and KANU backers retaliated...
...California-or California to them? One way to find out is to be born there. Another is to play a latter-day Candide-an innocent in the West of all possible worlds. TIME Correspondent Tim Tyler, 28, born in New York City and based in Los Angeles for the past 22 months, played that role recently. In effect, Tyler became a camera, zooming in on the human-natural scene, searching for something like the soul of the state. His report...
