...responsibilities. Most of Moyers' work was done behind the scenes until, in another crisis last July, he stepped in to fill the vacant office of White House press secretary. Thus, it was not until the most recent emergency, the President's gall-bladder operation, that Moyers' smooth, owlish, utterly earnest face finally became familiar on the nation's TV screens.

Once more, Red Chinese membership will be proposed, though with less feeling: Peking's brutal ultimatum to India has undoubtedly cost it some support among non-aligned countries. There will be demands for a vast disarmament conference that would include Peking, which the U.S. is not likely to welcome. The future of peace-keeping operations remains unresolved and controversial. To these familiar problems a new one has been added: Pakistan's threat to withdraw from...
