Says Columbia's Zbigniew Brzezinski, a Johnson Administration adviser on Communist affairs: "What Nixon really needs to do is to convince the public that he actually has a policy." The President's pledge to end the war within three years coincides with Ted Kennedy's own timetable. So if Nixon moves faster?by increasing troop withdrawals, for instance, and putting forward a firmer schedule ?he may well get renewed backing from the large moderate center of M-day supporters. Most of them did not criticize his peace efforts with much vehemence until August, when he delayed the second stage...
...Within a month, the National Assembly is scheduled to meet to elect a new President. No matter who wins, Somalia is expected to continue its recent policy of live-and-let-live with neighboring Kenya and Ethiopia...
Back to TV.

As expected, that challenge was epitomized by Leo-Jozef Cardinal Suenens of Belgium (TIME, Aug. 1). Although a personal friend of Pope Paul's, Suenens became the de facto leader of the progressive wing of the Catholic hierarchy earlier this year with a widely publicized attack on extreme papalism. He continued his campaign last week. In a bold speech, Suenens criticized those conservatives who cling to the concept of an absolute papacy, resembling the French monarchy before the 1789 revolution...
