...Cabinet members who have publicly taken issue with Nixon are Hickel and George Romney, Secretary of Housing and Urban Development. Both are ex-Governors accustomed to command, and both are frustrated by Nixon's isolation behind the palace guard of Assistants John Ehrlichman and H.R. Haldeman. Romney told TIME Correspondent Jess Cook: "I think the key question that the President is going to have to decide is whether he is to have White House staff people basically responsible in policy areas and playing leadership roles, or whether the Cabinet officers are going to do it." Romney has strong feelings...
...shelling was Israel's worst civilian catastrophe since the Six-Day War, and the nation responded with grief and anger. "This is murder, not war." protested an army doctor working on the victims. A group known as the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine-General Command, headed by Ahmed Jebreel, a 35-year-old former army officer, quickly claimed credit for the attack. The same group also boasted three months ago of engineering the mid-air explosion of an Israel-bound Swissair jet in which 47 died. Jebreel wired Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser last week that...
...direction?never the command ?of their therapists, the patients are encouraged to begin exploring the latent capabilities and mysteries of their bodies. As a first step, they are asked to disrobe in the privacy of their apartment bedroom and caress each other in ways only indirectly sexual?a gentle stroking of the back, a hand lightly tracing the contours of a thigh.

He bubbled with social ideas: for a national medical-insurance plan and for a program to build low-cost housing for the poor, using assembly-line techniques. At the end of his life, he was talking about adding some form of pollution control to the demands that the U.A.W. will serve on the auto companies when bargaining begins this summer. Not all his enthusiasms bore...
...Firmer Command. To the often-squabbling U.S. labor movement, Reuther's death may bring a period of surface calm. Although he helped mightily to negotiate the A.F.L.-C.I.O. merger in 1955, Reuther was a constant disturber of the peace within the federation, needling its officials to conduct bigger organizing campaigns and do more to help civil rights and other causes. In exasperation over the A.F.L.-C.I.O.'s slowness to heed these pleas-and no doubt in frustration over his own dimming chances to become A.F.L.-C.I.O. president -he led the U.A.W. out of the union federation...
