...Secretary in a Democratic Administration, now chairman of the National Urban Coalition, had undertaken to speak about urban affairs. His forum: the Illinois Constitutional Convention, which is considering a new instrument of government for the state. But as the speech date approached, he decided instead to deal with the hotter subject of the nation's perils and potentials. When the convention president, Samuel Witwer, got an advance look at Gardner's speech, he invited his guest to substitute the address originally scheduled or cancel the appearance. The remarks Gardner wanted to give, said Witwer, constituted a "very serious...
...British blues singer sounds like a contradiction in terms, but U.S. professional music folk took to Cocker from the start. Among them was Herb Alpert, who issued Joe's first two LPs on his own A. & M. label. Now Cocker is a hotter draw than Alpert's own Tijuana Brass, the legendary combo that made millions blending Dixieland and mariachi. As the new Warner film Woodstock (see CINEMA) makes emphatically clear, Joe was one of the hits of last summer's historic Woodstock festival. In those days, working with an instrumental quartet called the Grease Band, Cocker...
More Planes than Pilots. With its policy in disarray and its Arab clients seeking help, Moscow must now decide what to do. Providing the Arabs with hotter equipment-new MIG-23 "Foxbats" to replace destroyed MIG-21s or SA3 missiles in lieu of the SA-2s-is impractical. The Egyptians are scarcely able to handle what they have been given. In an unusually frank interview with U.S. Newsmen William Tuohy and Rowland Evans, Nasser admitted last week that "we have more planes than pilots." Nor is Moscow likely to order its own military advisers to expose themselves to danger...
...general are putting too much CO2 into our air. CO2 in our atmosphere absorbs ultraviolet radiation from the sun (reflected off the earth) as heat. This is called the Greenhouse Effect. It was important in the evolution of the earth into a life-supporting planet. The world is getting hotter and hotter. When it gets hot enough, the polar ice caps will start to melt. This will raise the level of the oceans 300 feet. This will cover the land on which two-thirds of the world's people live. Many people know about this problem. They also know they...
...urgency that they did in those days, many of the basic assumptions of journalism have changed very little. The most basic of them all is the primary loyalty of a newsman to his paper come hell or high water. A good newsman will let his grandmother burn if a hotter story turns up across town-or so the Hecht-MacArthur legend has it. Hildy Johnson (Bert Convy) is a classic of his breed, a red-hot superscooper. Suddenly he threatens to do the unthinkable. He tells the boys in the city room that he is going to get married, desert...
