...next in line of succession. But Ford felt an obligation to honor Nixon's promise to visit Japan some time this year. Moreover Ford had decided that he must make a brief side trip to South Korea to avoid what the North Koreans might misread as a calculated snub of Park. Beyond those considerations, Ford, who said last week that he would definitely run for election in his own right in 1976, had obviously decided that he had nothing to lose at home by traveling abroad. Only by acting as if he had a mandate from the voters could...
Sometime during the fall of my freshman year, I decided that I'd never feel entirely comfortable with myself if I continued to simply snub people. It wasn't enough to feel confident. I had to get involved and be vulnerable to the pain and insecurity of confrontation. I wanted desperately to be part of Harvard. I was intrigued by its traditionalism, put off by the elitism, but above all else, compelled by how different it was from California. So, I began the second step of adjustment: I consciously tried to adapt to Harvard without losing myself in that endless...
...Park is accompanied by brigades of bodyguards. Attendance at the Liberation Day ceremony was by invitation only. Yet Moon Se Kwang, 23, a Korean citizen who was a longtime resident of Osaka, Japan, somehow managed to pass himself off as a Japanese diplomat and to get in carrying a snub-nosed revolver.

Israel, for the moment, returns the snub. Taking over as Premier last week, Rabin announced his willingness to negotiate with all Arabs-except Palestinian terrorists. The future of the West Bank, he said, should be decided in consultation with Jordan's King Hussein, as head of a Jordanian-Palestinian state. Rabin's Cabinet won approval in the Knesset by a narrow 61-51 vote, with five abstentions and three absentees; Israeli political observers predicted that the new Premier will have to strengthen his own government before he can undertake negotiations with any of Israel's neighbors...
Sebring-Vanguard, Inc., of Sebring, Fla., hopes to be first out. It has beefed up a four-wheel golf-cart chassis, bolted on a snub-nosed auto body, and named the resulting vehicle CitiCar. Four prototypes are presently scooting around at speeds of up to 30 m.p.h. over distances of 50 miles before needing a seven-hour recharge from household current. The car seats two people and consumes a little more than 1 kw-h per mile (cost: about 2½? at current utility rates in Florida). Twenty-five hundred CitiCars are expected to come off the assembly line...
