...week the President hosted a gala state dinner for South Korean President Chung Hee Park in San Francisco's St. Francis Hotel, Nixon's favorite. Earlier, the President indicated that Washington expects Seoul to assume the major role in defending South Korea-a surprisingly mild affirmation of support, considering that the U.S. keeps 50,000 men in South Korea. Not even 6,000 antiwar demonstrators in Union Square could dampen the presidential humor. Nixon explained to the 238 diners that, although the U.S. Army Strolling Strings and the Marine Band were imported from Washington, the wines, the flowers...
...ecoactivists include groups as straight-arrow as the Girl Scouts, who last week campaigned for clean air in places ranging from Hartford, Conn., to smog-threatened Fairfax, Va. Among other young ecoactivists are the Ashland (Wis.) High School juniors who recently demonstrated in support of Duluth's Pollution Enforcement Conference. Alarmed at the growing damage to Lake Superior's ecology, they plan to confront dumpers of industrial wastes that are slowly polluting the only Great Lake that can still be called clean...

The results of this apparently free-form exercise may puzzle some moviegoers and its political sympathies will outrage many more. But the basis of Medium Cool is more than solid enough to support as impassioned and impressive a film as any released so far this year...
...pound hit a record low of $2.3813 in London, apparently because the Bank of England felt it safe to support the price at a lower level than the $2.3825 it usually tries to maintain as a floor. The value of the U.S. dollar dropped against the mark in Frankfurt but held steady elsewhere. The free-market price of gold moved scarcely at all-even though that volatile price is supposed to shoot up on any widespread doubts about the value of paper money...
