...recognition to North Viet Nam-while retaining only consular-level relations with Saigon. Until now, New Delhi had maintained a formal neutrality on the Viet Nam issue because it was chairman of the International Control Commission, which was charged with supervising a ceasefire in Viet Nam under the Geneva accord of 1954. India pointedly refrained from advising Washington of its decision in advance. The U.S., in turn, protested to India that its action could jeopardize its chairmanship of the commission. For the moment, both governments were clearly too angry to be interested in repairing the breach...
This is only the latest in a series of quiet, significant steps in ecumenical theology. In recent years, while the Anglican Communion has been down grading its Thirty-Nine Articles, many Catholic scholars have been reinterpreting the doctrine of transubstantiation. Last week's accord leaps over all the Reformation rhetoric and states simply that Communion presupposes Christ's "true presence, effectually signified by the bread and wine, which, in this mystery, become his body and blood."

But Carl Stokes saw an opportunity to personally defeat Garofoli (and Stanton), and to get back at those who had been his bitterest opponents, the men who had refused to accord him "basic respect." Over the last weekend of the primary campaign, a taped message from Stokes was mechanically telephoned from Carney headquarters into the home of every black voter in the city, instructing the residents to go to the polls and vote for Carney. The message didn't even have...
...doctrine of executive privilege has historically been a bitter issue. Many Presidents-including George Washington, Theodore Roosevelt and Dwight Eisenhower-have argued that a Chief Executive must accord his advisers the full freedom to offer their candid counsel without being forced to tell Congress or the nation's newspapers what it was. Yet the doctrine has sometimes been invoked to conceal bumbling, or political pressures, to suppress valid arguments against the decisions a President finally makes, or to hide outright corruption within an Administration...
