...Cargo put it: "Reagan's rapidly replacing Dick Nixon in one wing of the party." The Californian's growing popularity was glaringly evident earlier in the week, when 13 Western Governors-eleven of them Republicans-met in the village of West Yellowstone, Mont., just across the Wyoming border from Old Faithful. Fresh from an enthusiastic reception from the conservative Young Republicans in Omaha, Reagan breezed into the Yellowstone meeting "like a man on a white charger," as McCall put it.

Nepal, Peru, Ireland and Argentina, among others, supported the U.S. view that any withdrawal must be accompanied by an Arab agreement to live in peace with Israel.

There are ill-defined border areas where p.r. blurs into other activities, notably promotion, as in the creation, out of thin air, of a thin ephemeral wonder named Twiggy.

To the distress of the student leaders, Brandt refused...
...While in the Middle East last winter, I fell in love with the Jordanians most of all. But today my hat's off to Israel. What a tableau: There it stood, tiny and alone, cursed and menaced on every border by 14 scowling enemies. Yet today-"how are the mighty fallen!" But beginning with Abraham himself, Jewish history is replete with amazing exploits like this. Guts and stamina-the Israelis have them. Hail...
