...hurried staff survey produced seven options that really amounted to three broad choices: do nothing, press for an overall settlement, or work for smaller measures of amelioration. The first and third alternatives were dismissed. Too much is at stake in a situation that some in Washington compare to the pre-World War I Balkans. At his first press conference, Nixon stressed this grave view. Then the Administration answered the French request for Big Four action by agreeing to explore the question at the United Nations. The idea is that the U.S. would actually join a formal Big Four meeting only...
...taped program was in full color, and it pre-empted prime-time TV shows ?from Lost in Space to The Lucy Show ?throughout California. The star was that old TV steady, Ronald Reagan, and he had a new sponsor: a Reagan fan club called Californians for a Creative Society, which picked up the $20,000 tab "in the interest of an informed citizenry."

There is no doubt that he plans to exercise equal influence as the nation's top educational official. In his first statement after his appointment, Allen urged "a massive attack on the education needs of the disadvantaged...
Visually, the magazine can hardly be faulted. The art and photography is rich with color and imagination, providing a provocative-almost psychedelic-accompaniment to the text. In the pre-election issue, for example, television's importance in a campaign year was illustrated by a cover photo showing a woman thrusting her baby forward to be kissed by a politician. Ignoring the infant, the politician is pressing his lips to the lens of a nearby television camera...
