...began with Columnist Jack Anderson's charge that the Administration last summer settled antitrust suits against ITT in exchange for a $400,000 pledge by an ITT subsidiary to help underwrite the Republican National Convention in San Diego. The settlement was relatively favorable to ITT, though by no means a bonanza, and no specific quid pro quo arrangement has been proved. Indeed, it seemed naive to suggest that a superconglomerate with assets of $6.7 billion would try to buy the favor of the Department of Justice for such a comparatively trifling sum-or that it could be successful...
...sedate hearing room of the Senate Judiciary Committee had rarely rung with such harsh language. Columnist Jack Anderson was pressing his charges that the Nixon Administration had settled antitrust suits against the giant ITT Corp. in return for up to $400,000 in backing to bring the Republican National Convention to San Diego (TIME, March 13).

On this plane, the reproductive imperative of sexuality is defied; to refuse all association with...
Despite retreats like the Republic's, the trend seems clearly in the other direction. As Washington Post Columnist Nicholas von Hoffman sees it: "The women's section is the part of the paper that isn't tied to inherited ideas of what an event is"; it is attracting a number of good new journalists, both men and women. Von Hoffman himself specially requested that his own freewheeling column run in the "Style" section of the Post, as did Humorist Art Buchwald. Said Von Hoffman: "People read the women's page far oftener than the editorial page...
