Background briefing hassles trigger press rules debate
Ronald J. Ziegler calls for a meeting of news media reps to review press briefing regulations. The issue centers on background only briefings and the use of anonymity to allow candor, with critics arguing it erodes the public's right to know while some reporters value the exclusivity. The debate follows the Washington Post naming a high White House official in a briefing about Indo Pakistan fighting and broader concerns about official spoonsfeeding. If a Ziegler reunion occurs, the outcome could shape White House press access and coverage.

India Bolivia? A Bangla Desh boom for India boomerang
Alice Widener argues India faces a Soviet influenced risk as India's support for Bangla Desh could backfire, potentially fragmenting India before any broader union. She cites Communist pamphlets and UN interactions showing a long range plan for Indian states and eventual integration into a Soviet styled federation and warns against continuing high US aid.
