...Christopher, 58, a Greek-born, self-made dairy tycoon, is as nubbly as Reagan is smooth. He points proudly to his distinguished mayoral record, seeks to widen his liberal-Republican base by supporting such conservative causes as fiscal integrity and increased support for local police. Most important, he asserts, he is the only Republican with sufficiently broad support to win in November; recent polls, his aides note, show him beating Brown by a margin of 15%, whereas a Reagan-Brown battle would be a dead heat. The same polls, however, show Christopher trailing Reagan in the primary race, and most...
...striking directly at rebellious elements in his own army and indirectly at the militant Buddhists. The clash began with the lightning predawn "invasion" of rebellious Danang by Vietnamese marines loyal to Premier Ky. Soon all the sound and fury of incipient civil war had enveloped the crucial northern base town: the clank of tank treads, the rattle of sniper fire, the sodden plop of tear-gas grenades, the sudden sky-shaking roar of strafing aircraft.

And both Scripps-Howard and Hearst, who have merged their interests in the World Journal, have good reason for hanging on to a base in New York, which is the nation's center of communications and advertising. It would give them more than prestige; it would be a way of writing off the costs of some of their other papers which also have to maintain offices in the city...
...such as 2-S has attempted; a lottery abandons the attempt as hopeless. But could not 2-S be kept and even more skillfully used to overcome some of the problems of group poverty that are the real plague of the present system? Use 2-S to broaden the base of higher education by granting it with special largesse and tolerance among those less privileged groups that may require additional encouragement. Charles S. Maier
