Harriman, a staunch Democrat, had not expected to be asked by Nixon to stay beyond Jan. 20. His deputy, former Under Secretary of Defense Cyrus Vance, will remain in Paris for a month or so to brief Lodge and the No. 2 man, New York Attorney Lawrence E. Walsh, a longtime associate of William Rogers. The delicate business of detecting minuscule wiggles in Hanoi's line, often signaled by a change in the tense of a single verb, will fall to two eminently competent professionals.

As the few faithful Harvard fans nervously checked their laughter, Gustavson put on a personal scoring spree to clinch the verdict...
...literature, consequently does not illuminate many hidden corners. But by telling what Gary was, he helps define the flights of imagination the author had to make when he created his gallery of characters. Though Gary was an Anglo-Irish aristocrat by birth (the Carys of Cary Castle, Donegal), his brief training as a painter helped him get inside the skin of his most famous creature, the artist-bum Gulley Jimson in The Horse's Mouth. Experience as a British colonial official (from 1914 to 1920 in Nigeria) lent nuances to one of the best portraits of an emergent African...
