Within weeks after Tad Szulc arrived in Argentina in 1955 on his first Latin American assignment for the New York Times, Juan Peron was toppled in a coup. In 1958 Szulc flew into Venezuela just in time to report the overthrow of Dictator Marcos Perez Jimenez. In 1968 he was in Prague when Soviet tanks rolled in. Last week Szulc, 48, now a freelancer, left for Israel to do an article pegged to Henry Kissinger's visit; Jerusalem be alert for some kind of spectacle. If Israel escapes unscathed, Kissinger's image will likely be less fortunate...
...Boston this month, the Society of American Magicians doubled the attendance of previous meetings and announced its greatest membership growth. Says Tad Ware, part-time magician and full-time manager of creative services for the Pillsbury Co.: "People are baking bread again, buying pianos for their parlors, and doing card tricks. It's a sort of back-to-basics thing...
Lately, Kissinger's mystique and accomplishments have become the object of a kind of revisionist press. The strongest current example is former New York Timesman Tad Szulc's sometimes harsh account of Kissinger's Viet Nam negotiation in the current Foreign Policy (TIME, June 10).

But if the taps flap helps make journalistic skepticism respectable again where Kissinger and his considerable achievements are concerned...
...success in the Middle East inevitably recalls his negotiations in another battleground: Viet Nam. By coincidence, the first "inside" account of those 3½ years of talks and tribulations appears this week in the summer issue of the quarterly Foreign Policy. Written by former New York Timesman Tad Szulc, it offers an insight into the Secretary's "brilliance, stamina and tactics." Szulc pieced together his 47-page narrative from conversations with several officials involved in the peace effort-although not with Kissinger himself. Among the article's principal points...
...most flagrant instance of Reston's selfcensorship came in April 1961. Ten days before the Bay of Pigs invasion, Times reporter Tad Szulc put together a detailed story describing the training of Cuban refugees in Miami and the imminence of an invasion. But before the first edition came off the presses, Times publisher Orvil Dryfoos--on Reston's advice--ordered several changes. The story was moved from the lead column eight position to column four, and the headline was reduced from four columns to one column. All references to the imminence of the invasion were eliminated, and information linking...
