...Nixon seemed more at ease, almost liberated. When she went on a good-will tour to Liberia in 1972, her personality changed almost as soon as her plane crossed the continental shelf. She glowed, laughed and lofted tiny barbs of irreverence. When native dancers appeared barebreasted, White House aides were aghast. But she watched admiringly and applauded. TIME's Bonnie Angelo, who accompanied Mrs. Nixon, recalled last week, "I saw Pat Ryan, the pretty schoolteacher from Whittier, Calif., emerge from another era and flower for a few precious days...

Imagine Sylvester Stallone re-making Rocky by leaving...
Offshore Oil Drilling. Watt had offered to lease up to a billion acres of continental shelf over five years for oil drilling in multimillion-acre tracts. The report charges that Clark continues to parcel the shelf in enormous chunks, overriding warnings of an undesirable environmental impact. Clark has postponed a decision on a critical 37 million-acre patch of land off the California coast until after the election, which the environmentalists interpret as a sign that he plans to lease the parcel when it is politically safe. (Clark insists that he is bound by a congressional moratorium until at least...
