Nixon to give in and settle the crisis soon. But the two men share a deep mutual respect, and their session should be amiable. Nixon will be interested in Pompidou's impressions of Soviet Party Boss Leonid Brezhnev (tough, dogmatic, not at home in foreign affairs) and of his tour of Russia last year ("Ten days was certainly too much," Pompidou says. "Six at the most"). HEATH. In private, Britain's Tory Prime Minister Edward Heath has spoken acidly of Washington's role in the monetary crisis; he scoffs that the U.S. believes it still...

But the God of Gods--the Boss--has always been a man. That makes life so perverted, and death so unnatural. We should have imagined life as created in the birth-pain of God the Mother. Then we could understand why we, Her children, have inherited pain, for we would know that our life's rhythm beats from Her great heart, torn with the agony of love...
