...Educator Maria Montessori. Now the cycle begins anew with this work by Francois Truffaut. At first the mud-caked curiosity (Jean-Pierre Cargol) is treated as a zoo animal, visited by Parisians who applaud his pathetic growls and tantrums. Mercifully -or so it seems-the child is taken in tow by Dr. Itard (played by Truffaut himself). The primitive behaviorist names his charge Victor and slowly teaches him the habits and manners of civilization. But there is a ceiling of comprehension above Victor's head. Once he bumps it, all is lost. The embodiment of Rousseau's noble...
...troops entered Cambodia, the usual complement of tourists, strollers and protesters in Washington's Lafayette Square were startled to see a swarm of black limousines pull out of the White House gates, wheel around the corner and descend on A.F.L.-C.I.O. headquarters. President Nixon, maps and charts in tow, had come to explain his Cambodian policy to the executive labor council. He thus made a parlor call in a continuing courtship that Republicans hope will erode the Democratic Party's traditional base among working men and women...
...bailiff sneaked outside to alert police, one of the men picked up a telephone in the courtroom and forced Judge Haley to call the sheriff's office. McClain reportedly demanded: "Call off your pigs or we'll kill everyone in the room."

Justice William O. Douglas, chairman of the conference, strode through the bar with his miniskirted blonde wife in tow. The place was jammed with students in opentoed sandals, bearded scientists, well-tailored businessmen, lawyers and politicians. A star of the meeting turned out to be Arvid Pardo, a sort of superdiplomat who serves as Malta's delegate to the U.N. and the Maltese Ambassador to Washington and Moscow...
...annual meeting last week-for good reason. The meeting was held outside Los Angeles in a vacant helicopter hangar surrounded by a fence topped with barbed wire. Shareholders had to pass through four checkpoints manned by helmeted and pistol-packing guards. Company officials patrolled nearby rooftops, and two tow trucks and a fire truck were on hand in case of trouble. The 630 stockholders who attended, many of them present and former Lockheed employees, roundly applauded the management-despite Chairman Daniel J. Haughton's report that the company lost $32.6 million last year...
