Clear Statement. In the arduous efforts to end the war, that conversational cameo may not seem earthshaking. But amid the ritual of prepared exchanges, in a situation where the fund of optimism constantly verges on bankruptcy, Thuy's approach to Harriman offered the only glimmer of hope during last week's three-hour and 45-minute session. For by thus addressing his opposite number informally, Thuy may have been hinting that his delegation will soon be willing to talk directly to U.S. negotiators in an atmosphere undistorted by propaganda-as Harriman has been proposing all along-rather than...
Outside the conference room, there were other elusive hints of a softening-or an impatience-in Hanoi's approach. Was the North seeking a face-saving way of conceding that its troops are fighting in South Viet Nam-an admission that the U.S. says is essential to any discussion of further reductions in its bombing of the North? In the clearest statement yet of the part played by the Northern forces, General Vo Nguyen Giap, their commander, said in a broadcast from Hanoi: "The Army of Liberation and our people are fighting on all battlefields, from Ca Mau near...
...enthusiastic about glossolalia, which is usually carried on by small groups, led as often as not by laymen outside the confines of the church.

...days of January, time seems to drag. According to the Einstein theory of relativity, it actually does-in a minute amount that means little to anyone except a scientist. During its annual elliptical trip through space, the earth reaches its maximum speed each January, when it makes its closest approach to the sun. According to Einstein, the earth's increased velocity, along with its passage through a more intense part of the sun's gravitational field, causes terrestrial time to slow down in relation to time outside the solar system...
...This approach, however fruitful, is clearly outside the design of the Joint Center. Research firms work with multi-discipline teams toward a designated objective. The Center, in contrast, is an amorphous collection of about 60 independently-working people. As Fein puts it, "One does not expect an aggregate product out of this kind of enterprise." Most members regard the Joint Center in non-organizational, personal, functional terms. Comments one fellow, "It gives me office space, a secretary and a grant"--as well as carpets and refrigerators, a disenchanted outsider notes...
