...budgetary drain of the war which has shortchanged urgent domestic claims-all dictate that ending the war must lead all other tasks on the President's agenda." Yet the report concedes that the end of the fighting "will not quickly ease the Government's budgetary bind." Despite Saigon's decision to attend the Paris peace talks (see following story) and the hope for more serious talks, negotiations could still be dragging on as the 1970 midterm elections approach...
...Washington speak "with one voice," as Nixon put it-remained reasonably clear. On the Viet Nam talks (see THE WORLD), at least for now, there are no fundamental differences between the two.

Engaged in a fierce competitive battle to sell more seats, the industry has been spending lavishly on promotion gimmicks. The results have been mixed. Braniff International, one of the few major carriers to show an earnings increase this year, squeezes its extra mileage in large part from the ideas of Ad Gal Mary Wells (now the wife of Braniff President Harding Lawrence), who dressed stewardesses in Pucci-designed uniforms and painted planes...
