...editors set back the clock to twelve minutes to midnight-the farthest it has ever been from that apocalyptic hour. Now the editors are no longer so optimistic. In the September issue, the clock's hands will be pushed forward to nine minutes before midnight. The editors cite a number of reasons for their new pessimism: the lack of a further arms agreement between the superpowers; the continued spread of nuclear weaponry, emphasized by India's entry into the "nuclear club"; the American promise of reactor technology to the "volatile" Middle East; and mankind's increasing vulnerability...

Asked Dri nan: "How can we impeach the President for concealing a burglary but not for concealing a massive bombing?" Surprisingly, New York Republican Henry Smith, considered wholly against impeachment, indicated that the Cambodia bombing was the one Nixon offense that...
...ironic that those who extol upon the wonders of Israeli "democracy" advocate repression as a means of solving the Palestinian problem. It is ironic that they cite Lebanon as the villain in the current wave of terrorism, never raising the question of what 300,000 Palestinians are doing in Lebanon in the first place...
