About 300 Soviet and foreign reporters, including TIME Correspondent John Moody, were waiting when Gromyko strode into the ministry's press center with a jaunty step that belied his 73 years. He delivered a 65-minute speech, then answered a dozen questions. Speaking without notes or a prompting device, Gromyko came across as thoughtful, worldly and more humorous than his nickname, "Grim Grom," would suggest. Insisting that British and French missiles must be included in any agreement limiting warheads in Europe, he asked what would happen if they were launched against the U.S.S.R.: "Will a French missile have...
...William Richert, a novice writerdirector, strode out of Closetland with a pair of black-comic fantasias on the lust for power: Winter Kills and Success.

Suddenly, the ballroom door burst open and out strode the dapper, but obviously weary Saudi Oil Minister, Sheik Ahmed Zaki Yamani. As cameras flashed and video recorders whirred, OPEC's most powerful leader curtly announced: "The meeting has ended. There has been complete failure...
...Welcome Class of '72," a banner read. "The guest, the Times wrote, "did not talk about Watergate." Instead, Rose Marx Woods saluted her old boss as "the most honorable man this country ever produced." "After a standing ovation, the group joined hands and sang 'God Bless America. Nixon then strode to a piano and played 'Let me Call You Sweetheart.'" He ended his remarks by quoting Theodore Roosevelt. "The credit," Nixon began, "belongs to the man...who, at the worst, if he jails, at least jails while daring greatly." Many eyes filled with tears...
