Nelson Rockefeller has proposed a plan for peace in Viet Nam that calls for a pullback by North Vietnamese forces toward the Demilitarized Zone, Cambodia and Laos, coupled with a withdrawal by U.S. forces from such remote areas as the Central Highlands and a shift into heavily populated areas. A peace-keeping force, "Asian, if possible," would then be positioned between the two forces as a "security buffer," to be followed by the gradual withdrawal from Viet Nam of all foreign forces.

Flippie Brood. Since his wife's death last May in a head-on auto crash, Harlech has led a fairly quiet, solitary life except for a series of jet-age visits with Jackie. He accompanied her on a regal six-day tour of Cambodia in November, joined her in February at the Georgia plantation of former Ambassador to Great Britain John Hay Whitney, and escorted her, hand in hand, to Trader Vic's restaurant in Manhattan. Despite their obvious pleasure in one another's company, both have flatly denied rumors of a romance; Harlech says...
