...Certainly not the South Koreans. To be sure, they would like firmer guarantees of U.S. support in the unlikely event that North Korea's Kim II Sung decides to move from his pinprick attacks along the 38th parallel to an all-out assault. But they will be receiving some $750 million from Washington over the next five years to modernize their 620,000-man military force-and to ease the pain of the withdrawal, possibly by 1975, of the 42,000 U.S. troops remaining on their soil...
...shrillest cries of the disaffected young has revolved around a lack of legal avenues to change the System. No more. Last Wednesday in an extraordinary evening session, the Ohio house of representatives, by a vote of 81 to 9, made Ohio the 38th state to approve the 26th Amendment to the Constitution. That was sufficient for ratification, which means that 18-to 20-year-olds will be able to vote in all elections, local and state as well as federal...

With the Middle East cease-fire due to expire Feb. 5, Jarring hopes to make enough progress so that both sides will agree to continue the truce...

Initially at least, he will confer separately with the U.N. ambassadors of Egypt, Jordan and Israel. Eventually, Israel hopes to move the talks closer to home-say to Cyprus or Geneva-to elevate them to the foreign minister level and to hold them face-to-face...
...took some imagination. Tunney was a liberal, had been a registered Republican, and the district-the 38th, which included Riverside, his home-was markedly conservative. It also took some special insight by a pretty fair political professional, President John F. Kennedy. His advice, relayed through Edward Kennedy, Tunney's law-school roommate and close friend: drop the name Varick, by which Tunney had been called since childhood. The skeptical Tunney ran a poll: 66% of his potential constituents associated the name Varick with Russia and/or Communism. (In fact, it was the surname of a Revolutionary War ancestor.) At that...
