...easier for Jimmy Carter to make than that of Idaho Governor Cecil D. Andrus, 45, for Interior Secretary. He was the only man ever considered for the job, said Carter. A flamboyant, maverick Democrat, Andrus has built his political career on the bedrock of espousing conservation causes−a subject that much interests Carter. Andrus gained his experience in a mountainous, 83,550-sq.-mi. state, where nearly two-thirds of the land is under federal control and hence subject to intensive pressures from those who want to exploit its natural resources...
...under his own name until 1946, when he sold a small "Picasso" that he had executed. With the aid of a skillful fence, he turned his mimicry of Matisse, Modigliani and others into millions of dollars until his cover was blown in 1967.

Often their guests do not have big names or even prepossessing camera personalities-they are the kind of people you find on panels at seminars-but the broadcasts often inform because the hosts have the courage to be serious...
...Cher?" It is as interviewer and not as minstrel that ABC has tried to use her. The interview format, it turns out, does not particularly enhance a headline service. There sit Barbara and Harry Reasoner, with backs half-turned to the camera, looking at their interview subject on what seems to be another television screen on the wall; the effect on the viewer is something like Aldous Huxley's definition of infinity: A Quaker Oats box with a picture on it of a Quaker holding a Quaker Oats box on which is a picture of, etc. A reporter bundled...
