...Gandhi had come to Moscow in hope of lining up Soviet support for a peace conference that would allow both sides to stop shooting without losing prestige. She had been allowed to make her pitch over the Russian television network, where she echoed the U.S. argument that the Vietnamese people "must be left free to decide their own destiny without interference from out side forces or pressures." But Kosygin was not catching it. Without mentioning his Indian visitor by name, he told the 2,000 guests assembled in the Great Kremlin Palace that such arguments for a face-saving peace...
Rewritten Rules. Carrying on the argument, the American Civil Liberties Union plans to help appeal the Peters decision to the U.S. Supreme Court, which has yet to rule on stop-and-frisk. If the court takes the case, the key issue may well be whether a person stopped for questioning and frisking is actually under arrest-for it is only lawful arrest, with or without a warrant, that carries with it the right to make a search "incident" to that arrest. Without grounds for arrest, police cannot simply search a person and then use whatever evidence they happen to find...

As Ginzburg now tells it, the mailing company he hired devised that ploy without his knowledge...
...Argument No. 2 concerns American intervention in Viet Nam. Goodwin holds that the U.S. got involved through miscalculations, misjudgments and misreadings of recent history. The nature of the struggle isn't simply freedom versus antifreedom. It is partly a civil war, partly a case of "internal aggression." The "credibility of our military power" is what is at stake. It is not the presence of a Communist government in Saigon but an American military defeat that would shake the non-Communist governments of Asia. The U.S. cannot surrender, he writes, and should not withdraw...
...Argument No. 3 concerns future U.S. policy. Goodwin does not differ with L.B.J. when he advocates a "parallel course" of fighting and offering to negotiate. He cannot understand why the enemy does not see the point. "Hanoi's unwillingness to negotiate is one of the great mysteries of the war." Goodwin leans to the dove school of thought that wants the Saigon government revamped to include Buddhists and neutralists and others more acceptable to the Viet Cong...
