...press conference. A long table held a portable public address system. The candidate's campaign brochures were stacked neatly. It was just one of thousands of such meetings between reporters and presidential candidates this year and next. But this one last week was different. The only reporter present was TIME National Political Correspondent John Stacks. His report...
...would not accept federal matching funds, which are designed to ease and equalize the costs of campaigning in the primaries. Connally will be giving up some $3 million in grants, but figures that the price will be well worth it.

The Soviets have been giving conflicting signals...
...less is more" precept in an unintended way: they used far more heating and cooling energy than the buildings they replaced. Now owners are scrambling to make skyscrapers more energy efficient with such devices as heat pumps, reflective film on windows and costly refinements of lighting systems. (At present, a late-staying worker at Manhattan's World Trade Center who does not have a lamp at his desk must switch on a quarter-acre of lights.) More important, the Federal Government's edict lowering thermostats to 65° F has left windowless inner rooms relatively tolerable, while prized corner offices, symbolic...
