...there are still more severe side effects of the Nixon years. The golden days of UFO scares in little California towns are gone. Occasionally a local newspaper will print one housewife's account of how she met the flaming creatures from the sun, but our fears have been relocated. Perhaps the massive 800 page Condon report dealt the death blow to the boom. At any rate, we gaze into the night sky with unaccustomed security these days. The cities hold more dangers in store for the timid...
Even Emanuel Ungaro, famed for his superhard edges, turned his virtuoso hand to fluid fabrics, softly sashed dresses and loosely pleated skirts. His best look: a long dress in a pinwheel print, belted, bloused and all at once both elegant and sensuous. Dior's Marc Bohan is every bit as enraptured with the languorous look. Bohan softened his necklines with bows and scarf ties; and his hiplines had a series of stitched pleats that flattened first, then flared out. Deep colors glow like Tiffany stained glass; fabrics are light, jerseys, crepes and silk velvets. And again and again, capes...
...more determined drive for peace is not made now, he warns, the children seen on the screen could some day be fighting a real war. Another commercial has an Idaho woman recounting the hardships brought on her family by war-stoked inflation.

...seven commercials and eleven print ads were created voluntarily by members of "Advertising People Against the War." The group, which was formed after President Nixon sent American troops into Cambodia, quickly offered its resources to the Senators. More than 100 admen joined the organization, including Agency Chiefs Carl Ally, William Bernbach, Laurence Dunst, George Lois and Richard Lord. Top talent worked nights and weekends to produce the ads. Agencies supplied all the materials free, down to the film itself. The $250,000 needed to broadcast the messages came from donations received by McGovern, Hatfield and other Senators after their appearance...
Planned to save words in print and speech, acronyms have created new ones instead (radar, sonar, loran) and even corrupted spelling, producing "snick" out of SNCC and "rotsy" from ROTC. Today inappropriate acronyms are a constant hazard. When the Nixon Administration set up its new Office of Management and Budget (OMB), for example, it seemed clear that the awkward initials were invented to avoid the more logical name. Bureau of Management and Budget (BOMB). Military men seldom avoid such errors. The Army is especially prone to fatuous acronyms like BAMBI, which stands for Ballistic Missile Boost Intercept. Some civilian agencies...
