Clearly, the U.S. had not given away any substantial military potential. U.S. power remains, and so, unfortunately, does the bases issue. Indeed, there was concern in Tokyo that once the cutbacks take effect, they might well spark new demonstrations intended to force more sweeping concessions...
Though she has tried to get away from the "woman writer" tag, Gloria does not hide her feminine point of view. For the current issue of New York, she complains, in an essay about "Women and Power," that in a society which sees ambition as somehow unfeminine, "most women will have to exercise their much denied but very much alive instincts for power through men for a while yet." Happily, she forecasts a change in the future because "young girls are refusing to be emotionally blackmailed into domesticity...
Talese is now correcting galley proofs of the 200,000-word result, entitled The Kingdom and the Power and scheduled for spring publication by World-New American Library. In the book, Talese examines every aspect of the Times, measures its influence, analyzes its right to be called one of the world's greatest newspapers - if not the greatest.

Powered by six 550-h.p. turbine engines, the aluminum Turbos are capable of speeds up to 170 m.p.h. At first they will be restricted to 110 m.p.h. Riding at that speed, the three-car trains can carry about 140 passengers in great comfort. They can round sharp curves at speeds 40% higher than existing...
