Sometimes it seems as if the astronauts have been chosen by some secret P.R. quotient to project a wholesome, understated image. Bravery yes, but no heroics; little eccentricities yes, but no flamboyance. Their press conferences are small Seas of Tranquillity. But, as with all other professional risk takers, the very absence of excitement suggests the presence of courage. In most valorous men there must be a diminution of the imaginative faculty. "Neither the sun nor death can be looked at steadily," wrote La Rochefoucauld. The talk of "fuel margins" and EVAs is, in part, a way of giving the eyes...
Nixon has scheduled five of his seven stops in Asian capitals. In addition, he may make a secret side trip to the nation that, in any case, will be at the center of his discussions: Viet Nam. The start of U.S. disengagement from Viet Nam has opened up a period of uncertainty and transition in Asian politics. Faced with a reduction of the U.S. presence, Asian leaders are taking a fresh look at their relationship with the U.S., with each other-and especially with Communist China. They are also reacting uncertainly to a suggestion by Russia's Party Boss...
Perhaps. Yet that question overlooks another important argument: misuse of a gun is usually a public act; eavesdropping, on the other hand, tends to be a highly secret tactic.

He is selling his interest in Bachelors III, and we consider the matter entirely closed." Resplendent in yellow and tan sports shirt atop pinstriped, black bell-bottom trousers, Namath said: "We all got a little tired of the situation. I still insist I haven't done anything wrong, but there is still that area of doubt, that question with...
...CTIP is McKee's European foothold and a sizable operator in its own right. The firm has orders on its books for refineries and petrochemical plants worth $100 million. Last March, only one month after McKee appointed him joint managing director, CTIP's Gian Vittono Cavanna started secret negotiations with Technip, a French government-owned engineering firm. Without telling McKee, Cavanna signed a general agreement calling for a reshuffling of CTIP ownership among Technip, McKee and Italian companies. The idea was that divided leadership would enable CTIP employees to run their company themselves, rather than let tight control...
