NEW YORK — Richard Nix
on is coming back as a television
historian.
In the issue appearing on
newsstands Monday, New York
magazine reported the former
president will anchor an educa
tional series on international
events and statesmen similar to
his recent book “Leaders.”
Production is scheduled to
begin this week, the magazine
reported.
“We’re experimenting with
the idea of getting part of the
biographies of world leaders on
tape, instead of the printed
page, and who better to do this
than Richard Nixon, the man in
the center of events,” said
Jonathan Aitken, head of a Lon
don group backing the venture.
In the article, Aitken, a Con
servative member of Parlia
ment, said the series will be mar
keted to cable television, schools
and video libraries in America
and Europe.
Aitken said Nixon will not re
ceive a salary but will get a con
tribution toward his expenses.
The former president could not
be reached for comment.

Reporter says news coverage
of Vietnam war was a failure
United Press International
LOS ANGELES — A reporter
who won a Pulitzer Prize for his
coverage of the Vietnam War
says American journalists were
not critical enough of early U.S.
involvement and failed to report
accurately the history of the
area.
Journalist David Halberstam,
who won the prize for his cover
age in The New York Times,
made his comments Sunday
during the opening of a week-
long conference that has drawn
together the largest group of
Vietnam War experts ever pub-
lically assembled.
About 300 Vietnamese re
fugees peacefully picketed Sun
day’s opening sessions on the
campus of the University of
Southern California. The pro
testers carried signs calling for
support of human rights in
Vietnam.
Air Marshal Nguyen Cao Ky,
former vice president of South
Vietnam, accepted an invitation
late last week to participate in a
Wednesday panel discussing the
war and the Vietnamese.
Ky joins more than 85 U.S.
and South Vietnamese policy
makers, veterans, former spies.
Army generals, journalists, film
makers and anti-war protesters
at the conference titled, “Les
sons from a War: Vietnam Re
considered.”
Halberstam called the meet
ings “an act of self-examination”
and said many reporters who co
vered Vietnam have been
assailed for being “too critical”
of U.S. actions.
He dismissed suggestions that
the media lost the war. “Ironical
ly, we were not critical enough,”
he said.
Another delegate said a Viet
nam post-mortem is important
because the war has been too
long “buried in the national con
sciousness” since the American
defeat in 1975.
“I think there remains great
divisions about the war and
great confusion,” said Pulitzer
Prize-winning writer Frances
FitzGerald, author of “Fire in
the Lake,” a history of U.S. in
volvement in Vietnam.
“There is an entirely new
generation that has grown up
without really knowing much
about it at all,” he said.

Foresight. Decisiveness. The ap
plication of new technology. That’s how
Union Tfexas Petroleum has become one
of the nation’s leading independent
petroleum companies.
When Louisiana’s Lake Arthur
field was discovered 45 years ago, we
were there. Union Tbxas is still in the fore
front of the worldwide search for energy.
Exploring most of the world’s known
hydrocarbon basins. In the North Sea,
Abu Dhabi, Ivory Coast, Indonesia, the
Appalachian Overthrust Belt, the TUs-
caloosa Ttend, and the Anadarko and
Williston Basins. We’re recognized as an
industry leader in the completion of deep,
abnormally high-pressured wells. And
we’re the company that pioneered under
ground salt dome storage in Texas and
Louisiana.
Today, we’re stronger than ever.
Our proven oil reserves stand at over 165
million barrels and our gas reserves at
almost two trillion cubic feet. And now
Union Texas has launched an aggressive
program for the 1980’s. We’re commit
ting almost $3 billion over the next five
years to find and develop new oil and gas
reserves.
With our past success and our
commitment to the future, Union Texas
has built a solid staff of professionals
who specialize in petroleum finance and
accounting. They’re pursuing career goals
with a company that offers a stimulating
work environment in addition to com
petitive salaries, generous benefits and the
opportunity for individual growth. If
you’re interested in the challenges of
petroleum finance and accounting, then
you should discover Union Texas—
a company that seeks success and rewards
the successful.
We’ll be interviewing candidates
for BBA/Accounting degrees
