...entire process of Vietnamization was a lie. It was not an attempt to wind down the war--as we have seen, its ferocity increased. Rather, as Elsworth Bunker has stated, it was a policy aimed at "chaning the color of the corpses." It was not the deaths that concerned Kissinger, but rather the death of Americans and the division it created in America. By substituting dead Vietnamese for dead Americans, he hoped to be able to continue the war with political impunity. Such racism must be condemned...
...sons from speculative ventures aimed at increasing their inheritances. Last week a federal agency accused seven members of one branch of the family of trying, in effect, to corner the market in this year's dwindling supply of soybeans. The Commodity Futures Trading Commission charged that Nelson Bunker Hunt and W. Herbert Hunt, two sons of H.L.'s first marriage, acted in concert with five other Hunts to acquire contracts for future delivery of more than 23 million bushels of soybeans -nearly a third of the nation's expected supply this year and far above the legal...

But Paley will remain chairman and will still hold 6% of CBS's stock. He took care to tell shareholders at the annual meeting in Los Angeles, where...
Although it may not be apparent, "S" carded a courageous 11 on the redoubtable seventh, a hole replete with a meandering fairway and a menacing water hazard. Reaching the green of the par five eighth was an arduous business, and he found a greenside bunker. After unleashing a frenzied rain of blows, his ball had not budged. "S" suddenly lost the will to go on, so his incomplete scorecard will be preserved for posterity as a noble fragment...
