Direct from Washington, D.C.

At twelve noon in Washington, 6.0 p.m. our time, Richard M. Nixon is due to become the thirty-seventh President of the United States. He will have driven with Mrs. Nixon first to the White House and then with President and Mrs. Johnson through the crowds up Pennsylvania Avenue to Capitol Hill. The inauguration ceremony takes place in a vast temporary arena outside the Capitol Building before all the Federal States' dignitaries. First, Spiro T. Agnew is sworn in as Vice-President, then the new President takes the Oath and delivers his Inaugural Address. The Nixon era will have begun.
Robin Day is in Washington to describe the scene

The High Chaparral ...is the bid of a family seeking roots in the newly won West
...is the threat to the new settlers from Mexicans and Indians
...and spells adventure in the Arizona territory of 1870

Big John, overpowered by three escaped convicts, becomes dangerously involved in a case of mistaken identity and is held to ransom by a community of Mexican sheepherders. His fate remains very much in the balance even after the intervention of Buck, Blue, and Manolito.
