...plan yielded little drama and few new answers, but it made nearly all the old questions negotiable. It provided a cautious one-year timetable for ending the Viet Nam war, but assured Americans that no one expected their "unlimited patience" in bringing an end to the longest war in U.S. history. Almost every careful statement became a suit for good faith from two wary audiences: the Communist leadership in Viet Nam and the U.S. public. Between them-and under intense pressure from both-stood Richard Nixon. Last week he addressed those two groups in his first comprehensive statement...
...Corporation membership probably represents the only area where SDS rhetoric has been too cautious. The Fellows fill their own vacancies by the same procedure, having a survey committee solicit a wide range of recommendations, but the process has resulted in an incredibly homogeneous body. Four lawyers, three of them with extensive financial interests which have been repeatedly publicized by radicals, serve on the Corporation; the fifth Fellow, A. L. Nickerson, is a Republican from New York City who heads the Mobil oil company. With the exception of the youngest Fellow, Hugh Calkins from Cleveland, the Fellows maintain nearly identical life...

...needed all his cool going into the final 18 holes of the Masters. Behind by one stroke, Archer won by playing a cautious par round, while such renowned rivals as Billy Casper, Jack Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer were getting lost in the Georgia pines. Archer was in trouble only once-on the 15th hole, when his second shot plopped into a pond for a one-stroke penalty. After coming back with a precision-wedge shot that dropped 13 ft. from the pin, he relied, as he had through the tournament, on his putter. Hunching over the ball, he holed...
Experience Needed. Cooley, for his part, remained unruffled. He claimed that the artificial heart used in Karp was developed entirely with funds from the Texas Heart Institute and other private sources. But he was cautious in appraising its usefulness. "We have demonstrated that a mechanical device will support the body," he declared after Karp's death. "But we've got to get more experience. It can only be used in a person who is at the brink of death or in a person who has already died, as, in effect, Mr. Karp had. He was completely dependent...
