With two hours of pregame activity, roughly 3 1/2 hours of football and a 30- minute postgame wrapup, Super Bowl Sunday, Jan. 26, promises to be another marathon day of TV viewing. But NBC has come up with a new gimmick to ease the strain. Halfway through the pregame show, at around 4 p.m. E.S.T., the network's analysts will lapse into unaccustomed silence for one minute.

To read Sheed is, rather, to invite caricatures...
...information throughout Europe. The West German leader regards a Soviet concession on this issue, which would unquestionably influence the attitudes of other East bloc nations, as essential to the success of the European Security Conference in Helsinki. The Russians view the conference as a sort of World War II wrapup, affirming the "inviolability" of all borders that were redrawn to Soviet advantage at war's end. They have shown little interest in Brandt's broader aims, fearing that Communist ideology may be "contaminated" by exposure to Western thought. Brandt intends to put it as directly as possible...
