...layman's natural curiosity about whether or not Nixon's illness may have been brought on by Watergate, there is a straightforward, nonpolitical answer. Anyone is more than usually susceptible to illness brought on by transient, everyday germs in periods of stress, when he may be sleeping poorly and working too hard. Thus it is most unlikely that Nixon's illness provides any psychosomatic insights into his feelings about Watergate-but quite possible that his first bout with illness since becoming President is the indirect result of that unhappy affair...
...entitling the holder to unlimited travel for 21 days. Taking advantage of that bargain, Keith Wright, 30, a British tooland diemaker, and his wife Denise, 25, managed to stay within their blue-collar budget yet travel 8,000 miles around the U.S. Since food, gasoline and other staples of everyday life are frequently higher-priced in Europe than in the U.S., the Wrights were pleasantly surprised at many of their bills.

One particularly stunning photograph, taken from the Apollo command ship after the astronauts left Skylab, shows the 80-ton space station circling the cloud-covered earth. The makeshift sunshade, erected by the astronauts after the loss of the original shielding during launch, and the single surviving solar wing on the orbital workshop section are clearly visible. The photographs also offer a close-up view of the damaged equipment, including...
...even faster. In this age of supposed European unity, cynics say, galloping inflation is the one thing that all Europeans really do have in common. By year's end, Europeans could be paying close to 10% more for food, clothing, shelter and other everyday needs than they...
