...Palace recalls an 18th century European royal court. At the top of a sweeping, crimson-carpeted-staircase, huge chandeliers dominate the great hall where Cabinet ministers, ambassadors and favor-seekers wait to be received in audience. Inside the President's book-lined office, rows of brown leather chairs lead to his desk, which stands on a raised platform flanked by Philippine flags. In a palace interview last week with TIME Correspondent Ross H. Munro, Marcos exuded confidence as he talked about the future of his regime and his country. Despite rumors that he has serious medical problems the slender...
...thought we had given so-called 'punk rock' a bad enough name--what with the chains, the leather and Sid Vicious' 'suicide'--but then the critics turned around and called it 'new wave.' We thought disco would bring home the bacon, but what has John Travolta done for us lately?

Fugitive Abbie Hoffman mailed in word of the Checker Cab Co.'s new nonpolluting taxi: a rickshaw pulled by a jogger and known as the Chinese Checker...
...never appears off-balance." A former assistant managing editor of LIFE, Ajemian has been covering presidential candidates since 1956, and reported extensively on the Texan for TIME three years ago. For this week's cover story, Ajemian shadowed three Connallys nonstop for a week: he rode with the leather-lunged campaigner on a four-states-in-four-days fund-raising sweep; he weekended with the ten-gallon-hatted, boots-and-khaki cattle rancher at his Floresville, Texas, spread; and he interviewed the smooth-talking, pinstriped attorney in his expensively furnished Houston law office.
