Because Richard Nixon is becoming an ever more substantial somebody, there was some movement toward his camp from other factions of the G.O.P. Alaska Governor Walter Hickel, who has described himself as a Rockefeller Republican, accepted the Western states' co-chairmanship of the Nixon organization. Massachusetts Representative Bradford Morse, a founder of the liberal Republican Wednesday Group, said he, too, was enlisting. "This idea that Nixon is a Goldwater conservative is ridiculous," said Morse. "Nixon is a moderate." In Minnesota, where Rockefeller was previously regarded as relatively strong, G.O.P. Chairman George Thiss predicted that Nixon now would carry most...
Last week's meeting was not only different; it was far and away the most historic meeting in the Central Committee's history-and a turning point for modern Czechoslovakia. Amid a display of press freedom and accessibility more familiar to Western politicians than Communist leaders, the party's top brass assembled to consider an "action program" for a democratic reform of Czechoslovakia that has been brewing during three stormy months of nationwide debates and mounting pressures.

Dissension among Russia's artists seems to have spread well beyond literature. Calling a special press conference, Mrs. Ekaterina Furtseva, the Soviet Culture Minister, assured Western newsmen that "never have conditions for artistic creation in Russia been so favorable as now."

While Okinawa has since become the major U.S. military base in the Western Pacific, the Bonin area installations are now only three small stations and a complement of only 75 men. Last November, as an omiyage (gift) to Japan's visiting Premier Eisaku Sato, President Johnson agreed to give back the islands to Japan...
...capital because it leads to production. That creates jobs and income, which in turn produce more capital and more demand for it. The Atlantic Council of the U.S.-a group of U.S. Government and business leaders-estimates that, in the ten-year span ending in 1976, North America and Western Europe will need $1 trillion to expand pro duction. They will also need the funds to open new and costly programs to assault pollution and slums, exploit the resources of the oceans, and perform other basic tasks to make the civilized world more livable. The needs are great as well...
