This quickly triggered reaction to the shooting of a prominent American politician raised more questions than it answered. Should the whole American society be condemned for the criminal act of one of its members, possibly one who is mentally ill? Do the American people bear the guilt for the handful of deranged assassins who have cut down in turn Medgar Evers, John Kennedy, Martin Luther King, Robert Kennedy and now George Wallace? How just an assessment is the view that America is, in some special way, an intrinsically violent nation...
...tactician, was shortsighted and defiant, and helped paint his party into a tight corner by adamantly opposing ratification. The C.D.U. leaders repeatedly charged that the treaties were a sellout of German interests to Moscow. Privately, though, they hoped that the treaties would pass, so that the party should not bear the onus of holding up detente. Thus both sides procrastinated until the moment of truth arrived-and the result was what one Bonn political observer describes as "a grade-B performance-Brandt and Barzel...

The Mets were glad because Mays, even at 41, is still a powerful player as well as an enormous drawing card in the city where he began his career 21 years, 646 home...
...splendid ear: the fragments of Pound's poetry that litter his pages are altogether dazzling and rich, "an anthology of rightnesses." Kenner knows some good sto ries too. He has one small masterpiece about T.S. Eliot, during an impossibly British lunch, majestically bringing his famous critical faculties to bear upon a Cheese...
