Substantial Difference. In some ways, Clifford's position and the Administration's are similar. The White House is already thinking of pulling out a total of 70,000 men from Viet Nam during 1969, a figure not far behind Clifford's 100,000. Further, Nixon and Clifford agree on at least one justification for the reduction. As the quality of South Vietnamese forces improves, they will be able to assume greater responsibility for conducting the war. Beyond that point, however, Clifford and the Administration differ substantially on several premises and conclusions. In essence, Clifford's arguments...
...Knauer, though, will probably have the last word. Nixon himself telephoned her to express approval. Recalling days long ago, Nixon almost recited an ode to the hot dog. "Stick to your guns, Virginia," he said. "I'm behind you 100%. I came from humble origins. Why, we were raised on hot dogs and hamburgers. We've got to look after the hot dog." It may not have sounded like Keats, but to millions of hot-dog-loving Americans, it undoubtedly sang just as sweetly...
Given the near-total economic chaos left behind by Sukarno, improvement is bound to be slow. Still, in the 2½ years since President Suharto's government began its stabilization program, real progress has been made.

With at least temporary political stability in hand, Suharto's small group of Western-trained economists has managed to balance Indonesia's budget for the first time...
...threaded through the crowds on his way to the 18th tee at the Champions Golf Club in Houston last week, a drowsy-looking man in a tangerine shirt was halted by a marshal and sternly told: "Get behind the ropes, fella." No, no, another marshal whispered. "Let him through. He's one of the players." Minutes later Orville Moody became the player. He skied an 8-iron shot onto the green, tapped to within 14 in. of the cup and, without bothering to line up the ball, sank his putt to win the 69th United States Open...
...shook their heads. "As in any sport," said one authority, "age is the single most important factor in chess. At 32, Spassky is able to maintain that slight edge of sharpness that makes the difference at the very summit." Petrosian, visibly weary from the two-month grind, fell farther behind and eventually lost by a score of 12½ to 10½. One morning last week, the two contenders met at the Moscow Chess Club to sign a document that signified Spassky was the new world champion. It was Petrosian's 40th birthday...
