...three-story Georgian building shaded by yellowing oaks, and the pew-like benches in Courtroom No. 1 have room for only about 110 spectators, with space for another 30 in the white-paneled balcony. The seats are packed every day, mostly with reporters from as far away as Tokyo and London; there are a few students, and one white-bearded eccentric called Prophet Dan, who claims he could cure the stricken girl. Dominating the courtroom, just behind the witness stand, is a huge (3 ft. by 5 ft.) diagram of the human brain, with all the parts clearly labeled-cerebellum...
...greater concern is what happens after that. To help raise capital, Pan Am has sold off more than $40 million worth of its least efficient jetliners since 1972, but it can hardly keep that up much longer. In fact, to compete in growing markets such as New York-Tokyo, the airline will soon have to add to its fleet new, longer-range jets like the Boeing 7475P, which can serve those markets nonstop. Yet it may have trouble obtaining massive long-term financing for any new equipment until, as Seawell puts it, "we return to a sustained level of profitability...
Henry Kissinger has made seven trips to Peking since his dramatic secret visit in 1971.

Korea, he reasons, is vital to the security of Japan, the economically most powerful nation in Asia. If Korea should go Communist, or be swept by war, Tokyo might well be forced to rearm in a massive way, probably with atomic weapons. Many Japanese officials are as afraid as Kissinger is of the prospect of a remilitarized Japan. They have urged him to make direct approaches to North Korea, if necessary, to guarantee peace on the peninsula...
Henry Kissinger is on the move again. Last week, after making his first visit to Canada, he flew to Tokyo and then on to Peking. Before going to Ottawa, the Secretary of State sat down for two hours with TIME Diplomatic Editor Jerrold Schecter and State Department Correspondent Strobe Talbott for a wide-ranging discussion of his foreign policy. Excerpts from the conversation...
