...incredible get-ups which many of the younger demonstrations sported were often too much even for the police. Many a sergeant broke into a jolly guffaw at the sight of a boy wearing a banana-peel headpiece or a girl covered with psychedelic paint. And on the bus from the U.N. after the rally one cop had a friendly chat with a couple of demonstrators who complimented the police on the handling of the crowd. That was credit where credit was due. No matter what the police thought of it, they handled the protest well...
Likability Gap. To prove that he can win, Nixon must thus enter every primary in sight. His aides are planning an all-out effort in his behalf in New Hampshire's March 12 first-in-the-na-tion primary, and are looking into the Wisconsin, Nebraska and Oregon contests. They acknowledge that Nixon suffers from a "likability gap," and that might prove his greatest drawback.

...season last January, Canada's Nancy Greene, 23, was the biggest name in skiing. She won four out of seven races against Europe's best (TIME, Jan. 20). Then she went home, and the French took over. Coach Honore Bonnet's charges won practically everything in sight: Jean-Claude Killy sewed up the World Cup for men; Marielle Goitschel and Annie Famose fought a ding-dong battle for the women's championship. Even after competition moved to the U.S. last month and Nancy got back into action, her chances of overcoming the French girls' lead...
