...largely in secrecy. He must maintain the pressure on the battlefield, but not so intensely that Hanoi breaks off the peace talks in Paris. He must continue preparing the South Vietnamese to assume more responsibility, but not undercut them by bargaining with the North behind their backs. He must allow the Saigon government to negotiate as an equal partner, but not permit it to exhaust U.S. public patience by foot dragging. In all this, an essential element is the reliability of the South Vietnamese government and the man who runs it, President Nguyen Van Thieu...
...somewhere else-which means federal or state aid. Last year the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in Board of Education v. Allen that states could supply textbooks for purely secular subjects (science, mathematics, language) to nonpublic schools, and parochial-school educators hope that the decision eventually may be expanded to allow public aid to parochial-school students for other costs, such as faculty and plant, as well.

Hill's technique, which is now being adopted by many other surgeons, involves a more elaborate procedure: stitching part of the stomach to form an internal flap that prevents reflux. Ligaments and other tissues are attached where the gullet joins the stomach, so that this junction...
...landlord owning a rent-controlled building has a double incentive to allow maintenance to deteriorate: it lessens his operating costs, and it may help him to get rid of troublesome tenants to to be replaced by ones willing--in a tight housing market--to ignore the law and pay extra under the table for a vacant apartment...
