With one exception, all of the give-and-take sessions in Operation Candor, as the White House dubbed Nixon's ten-day blitzkrieg to restore his credibility, took place behind closed doors. The exception, of course, was his hour-long televised press conference with the Associated Press Managing Editors in Florida's Disney World (TIME, Nov. 26). While carried off with panache and an almost hectic energy, that performance at many points was something less than candid. In fact, on closer examination, the list of some of the distortions, innuendoes and false assumptions by the President is astonishing...
Japan's Imperial Household Agency, which keeps a little list of royal dos and don'ts, was aghast. As her parents, Crown Prince Akihito, 39, and Princess Michiko, 39, left Tokyo's Togu Palace for a ten-day official tour of Spain, their daughter, Nori, 4, planted on her mother's cheek the first public Imperial kiss.

Crowding the freeways, chug-a-lugging ever costlier gasoline, the standard-sized (which is to say, huge) U.S. car becomes a little less appropriate every day. Though new car sales generally have dipped about 20% below last year's totals for the past two ten-day periods, compact and subcompact sales are up more than 20%. Latest figures show that their share of the U.S. market has increased from 22% only four years ago to 40% now. Ford Motor Co. Chairman Henry Ford predicts that small cars will soon take 50% of the market...
