...tape recorder. "It was a good thing I did," says Fischer. "Although Mrs. Mitchell was suffering from a cold, we talked for 41 hours." Another recorder was on hand two days later when Fischer, Correspondent Bonnie Angelo, Researcher Amanda Macintosh and Writer Douglas Auchincloss met Republican Martha Mitchell and Democrat Barbara Howar for a discussion on women and power in Washington. Characteristically candid, Martha fired off some observations about TIME'S cover team. Researcher Macintosh, who lives in Manhattan, was obviously "too sweet to come from New York." As for leonine Writer Auchincloss, Martha thought he could well pass...
...political half time for Richard Nixon. Coming off a relatively bad second quarter culminating in the Democratic gains of Nov. 3, Nixon has already begun rejiggering his offense for the drive to his own re-election two years hence. He has yet to announce any formal changes in the first-team lineup, but his lieutenants are gesturing frantically from the bench. At a breakfast meeting with some 15 newsmen last week, one important Nixon aide let it be known that as many as three Cabinet officers will soon be pulled out for good. Daniel Patrick Moynihan, a Democrat...
...race for the Senate, Democrat Richard Ottinger, backed primarily by his mother, spent $3,500,000; Republican Charles Goodell, who found himself cut off from some of the party's biggest contributors, invested $1,000,000. Conservative James Buckley, the first third-party Senator elected in 30 years, spent $1,500,000.

...member of the House of Representatives this year. Though each candidate suspects his opponent of spending more than claimed, the campaigns for these offices came to perhaps $2 for every person in the state, $6 for each vote cast Nov. 3. Incumbent Senator Gale McGee spent $150,000 (the Democrats say) to $300,000 (the G.O.P. says) to retain his seat. His G.O.P. challenger, John S. Wold, aided by a fund-raising dinner that featured Vice President Spiro T. Agnew, put $150,000 to $250,000 into his campaign. The gubernatorial race was cheap compared with other states: Democrat John...
...sounds like a ludicrous piece of political black humor. A Southern Democrat introduces an import-restricting bill designed to help a Republican President who wants to win votes in Dixie. Egged on by organized labor, Congressmen joyfully expand the bill into a measure that will force consumers to pay higher prices for clothes, shoes and many other goods. More than 4,000 professional economists sign a letter warning that the bill not only will be grossly inflationary but will also gravely hurt the nation's position in world trade. The U.S. Secretary of State says that the measure will...
