...more like frightened 16-year-olds." Thompson does not, however, see a quick end to the war. "It could take three to five years before Hanoi is compelled to give up her purpose and to negotiate a real settlement," he says. Until that happens, he advises, the allies should adopt "a long-haul, low-cost strategy" that relies more on the South Vietnamese army-a prescription that fits Richard Nixon's "Vietnamization" program perfectly...
What was Ulbricht up to? Some diplomats in Bonn thought that he was cynically offering West Germany the kind of negotiations it could not agree to.

Finally, it seems inconceivable that strife can go on indefinitely through the '70s without a profound longing for civil peace reasserting itself. This should...
...whole school of economic thought. It is called the "Chicago school," and its growing band of followers argues that money supply is by far the most important and fastest-acting of the economic regulators at the Government's disposal. Friedman has succeeded in persuading many leading economists to adopt his monetary theories, at least in part...
