Robert Shnayerson, a former TIME senior editor, succeeded Morris, adding earnest stories on the environment and a section called "Tools for Living," a kind of survival guide for the bean-sprout generation. Dizzied by the Morris zig and the Shnayerson zag, droves of readers and advertisers drifted away. In 1976, a year after Lapham took over, only 23% of subscribers renewed.

Vance sat down with Israel's Foreign Minister, Moshe Dayan, for a tough;even-hour negotiating marathon. That meeting resulted in a U.S.-Israeli statement on Geneva that seemed to back away from the freshly minted U.S.Soviet declaration in many ways...
