...doubt that next year Kekkonen will seek a third six-year presidential term-and win easily. Although 66, he. is still a vigorous athlete, sometimes skiing 500 miles in sub-zero weather on a week's trek. His long tenure has provided stability to an otherwise chaotic political scene; Finland has had 50 different governments in 50 years. One reason for the current stability is that Kekkonen has encouraged the Communists to take part in the Finnish Cabinet. Although it consistently polled one-quarter of the votes in Finland's postwar elections, the Communist Party until last year...
Bayh, 39, first clashed with Poats, 44, when he was chief of AID for the Far East and overseer of the crash program to bolster South Viet Nam's chaotic economy during the herculean U.S. buildup in 1965-66. After Bayh learned that AID officials had bought galvanized steel from Korea for quick shipment to Viet Nam, he lambasted Poats and insisted that AID purchase primarily U.S. steel.

...hand-feeding the public a kind of capsulated, easily digestible solution to foreign affaris problems, Reston runs the risk of allowing hundreds of myopic editors across the nation the opportunity to disguise their bias as the best alternatives. The front pages of today's newspapers may often seem chaotic, but straight reporting is probably less pernicious than an over-simplified account which imposes a particular point of view on the reader...
