...more in it for him than met the eye? There was speculation that the President is positioning Connally as a possible replacement for Spiro Agnew in 1972. So far, that is nothing more than guesswork. Besides, such a plot would require a party switch by Connally, and Texans generally prefer to fight rather than switch. It would cost Connally dearly back home. "I did not seek this job," Connally told friends. "It's just hard to say no when you're asked to serve your country." Since he had turned Nixon down twice before, that explanation seemed both...
Just the Facts. "We are not going after these companies as crusaders," says Alice Tepper, 26, a pretty Wellesley graduate who is founder and director of the Council. "If they are polluters, the facts themselves will hit them in the pocketbook. Many Americans seem to prefer cleaner air to an extra dollar of dividend income." Alice Tepper does not pretend to be a pollution expert; she does know how to organize experts who can examine corporate performance. She first got interested in such problems two years ago while working as a securities analyst in a Boston investment firm. A local...
Despite Gentele's onstage credentials, there is some skepticism as to whether he is the right man for the job. Swedish critics have tended to prefer his directing to his administrating.

Since the Arabs refuse to meet directly with Israel, Jarring is likely to shuttle between delegations. The site of the talks has not been settled. The Israelis would prefer Rome or Cyprus in order to be closer to Jerusalem for instructions. But Jarring will probably decide on New York. That could be an advantage: the farther from home all parties are, the slower the progress will be. The slower the debate, the more likely the chance is that Jarring...
...Whites Allowed. Soul Alley is home for somewhere between 300 and 500 black AWOLS and deserters. They escape arrest by using forged ID cards and mixing with the even greater number of G.I.s who are still on active duty but prefer spending nights here, away from the drabness of their barracks. There were roughly 65,000 cases of AWOL last year, and the Army estimates that about 1,000 soldiers will become deserters this year (no racial breakdowns are available...
