...will win in the Senate, which could mean a replay of the budget impasse that caused the current crisis. This possibility makes it almost certain that no matter who wins, the authority of the Senate will be trimmed; and if Whitlam wins, Sir John may well be forced to resign. When his secretary finished his proclamation to Parliament with the traditional "God save the Queen," Whitlam had an angry riposte. "Well may we say God save the Queen," he shouted, "because nothing will save the Governor General...
...replace Kissinger as head of the National Security Council, Scowcroft will now be able to work there in the daytime too. A slightly built, balding scholar, Scowcroft may well be the ablest member of Ford's White House staff.

TIME has learned that a few weeks ago Sarnoff, whose contract expires at year's end, indicated he wanted more money and intimated that he might resign if his demands were not met.

Encouraged by his family, el Caudillo made it clear last week that he wanted to die with all his power and titles, and thus would not resign. Arias...
Whitlam's government is unquestionably vulnerable. Mishandling of the domestic economy helped produce the highest unemployment (5.1%) in more than 30 years and a 16.9% inflation rate. Then came the scandal that gave Fraser his immediate issue: two Cabinet ministers were forced to resign from Whitlam's government on charges of misleading Parliament about covert negotiations for "overseas loans" through questionable channels to develop Australian energy resources. Between May 1974 and last month, Whitlam's approval rating in the polls dropped from...
