CONTRARY to the expectations of many, the Nixon Administration has also been urging Congress to exercise caution when dealing with bills relating to campus disruptions. Arguing that college administrators are best qualified to deal with disturbances, Nixon, HEW Secretary Robert Finch, and Commissioner of Education James E. Allen Jr., have all spoken out against measures which would cut off Federal aid to universities hit by disruptions. Though Attorney General John Mitchell has argued for stronger measures, the Administration's only new proposal on colleges has been one which would allow universities to apply for Federal restraining orders against students...
...Clifford was at the Pentagon, Nixon observed at his press conference, U.S. casualties were the highest since the war began. All that anyone agreed on in Paris during Clifford's tenure was the "shape of the bargaining table." But then, with what seemed to be uncharacteristic lack of caution, Nixon went Clifford one better on the schedule for troop withdrawal by saying: "I would hope that we could beat Mr. Clifford's timetable."

Nixon's advisers had proposed that he announce withdrawal of as many as 70,000 troops, but with characteristic caution Nixon chose a minimum opening figure of 25,000 (see box, page 18).

The 18th century priests, trained in the flesh-hating Jansenist seminaries of France, gave him the rationale for what he had to do anyway. It was not a specifically Catholic matter. Protestant churches in Scotland and Wales, countries also under the British thumb, were equally repressive...
Despite the well-founded Russian caution and his own recent admission in private that any strike across the canal would be "suicidal," Nasser has steadily stepped up the level of violence to a point where he might not be able to back down easily. After he was received in February with unprecedented coolness and even rudeness by Egyptian soldiers at the Suez front, who wanted to know when they could fight, Nasser authorized them to mount heavy artillery barrages against the Israelis. The move was intended to raise military morale. It did, for a time, but soon there were fresh...
