The ceremonial portions of the seven-day visit will be televised live by satellite to a worldwide audience that may match or exceed the estimated 600 million who saw man's first steps on the moon. The President and Mrs. Nixon will depart Washington on the morning of February 17. After spending two nights in Hawaii and one in Guam (and losing a day by crossing the International Date Line), they should reach Peking on February 21, at 11:30 a.m. That is 10:30 in the evening Eastern Standard Time, an excellent hour for a presidential...

That increase of $27 million substantially exceeds what the magazines earned last year; it amounts to approximately two-thirds of the corporation's estimated pretax profit for all activities in 1971. Newsweek's postage would nearly double in five years under the original rate request and considerably exceed its 1970 profit...
