...Clue. Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko was low-keyed but also off-key; in a long statement on regional security, he demanded the withdrawal of U.S. troops from South Viet Nam and of Israelis from the occupied territories, but implied that North Vietnamese units should be allowed to remain in the South and Soviet troops in Czechoslovakia. Most disappointingly, he gave no definite clue that Russia was finally willing to begin talks with the U.S. on limiting strategic weapons. He even rejected Nixon's proposal to agree immediately to impose an embargo on arms shipments to the Middle East...
...Princess Grace. Since then the couple has contributed 10,000 francs toward a down payment on a new home for Josephine and her "fraternité universelle" -twelve adopted children of all races and nationalities. The St. Louis-born singer and her brood, after losing their chateau in the south of France, have now moved into a lovely white villa on the coast at Roquebrune-Cap-Martin. "This is the proof that one should never despair," said Josephine, adding that she will now work even harder to meet the rest of the payments on the $100,000 house...
...sputter than a spurt. The Ofay Watcher meanders through a black-white confrontation with moments of humor but no fresh insights.

Unlike a good family fight, a bad one sounds dull, mean and petty, though Colleen Dewhurst as the whoring sister gives a performance that is etched in sulfuric acid...
PREOCCUPATION WITH TRIVIA. The FTC devotes an astonishing proportion of its energy to attacking allegedly misleading textile-and fur-labeling practices. It has questioned a fur label on which "South West Africa" was abbreviated to "S.W. Africa" and a "90% wool" label on a blanket that was 89.9% wool. On the other hand, the commission does not even screen local TV and radio commercials or scan newspaper ads to detect the fraudulent practices-fictitious pricing, home-improvement gyps, "bait-and-switch"schemes-that the FTC's own studies indicate are widely practiced in ghetto areas. The main reason...
...members. In construction, Negroes make up about 35% of the laborers' union. Black membership is also high in the so-called "mud trades"-bricklaying, plastering, hod carrying-that white workers increasingly shun. There are few Negro electricians, sheet-metal workers, glaziers, plumbers or pipe fitters. Particularly in the South, there are still several hundred segregated all-Negro locals-in the machinists, carmen, railway clerks, paper mill workers and other unions...
