...first important action, Hickel named as his undersecretary a man who may well set the tone for his department. He is Russell E. Train, chairman of Nixon's pre-inaugural task force on resources and environment, and an internationally esteemed conservationist. The appointment drew praise from nearly every quarter, including the old Administration.

South African Finance Minister Nicolaas Diederichs has repeatedly predicted that an international flareup will come in the second quarter of this year. Princeton Professor Fritz Machlup, a top expert on global finance, expects a new currency crisis "in the foreseeable future...
...system. Now Cohn-Bendit, banished from France after his abortive attempt at revolution, has combined forces with his brother Gabriel, who is a professor of German at Saint-Nazaire university, to provide "an echo of the great dialogue that was begun in the forum of the Latin Quarter...
