Several members of our Washington bureau have spent most of 1976 on the road. Strobe Talbott has been with Ford and Reagan.

Dean Fischer was at Reagan's highly emotional victory celebration in Los Angeles. Said Fischer: "Neither of the other candidates I covered-Ford and Carter-has Reagan's star quality. The President can impress crowds with his office. Carter can hold an audience, particularly a black audience, spellbound...
...typical shift last week moved the Washington bureau's Strobe Talbott, 30, who translated the Khrushchev memoirs, out into the Reagan campaign.

William E. Colby had just returned from Richard Welch's funeral at Arlington National Cemetery. Still dressed in a somber charcoal gray pin-stripe suit and dark tie, the CIA Director held a 90-minute interview with TIME Correspondent Strobe Talbott. Colby's successor-designate, George Bush, is expected to be confirmed by the Senate shortly after Congress reconvenes next week. Soon after that Colby will retire, ending a quarter-century in the CIA. In the excerpts, Colby gives his personal views on a number of issues involving the record of the CIA and its proper role...
