Nixon had been planning a major pronouncement for nearly two months, and had ordered National Security Adviser Henry Kissinger to begin drafting it a week before the new Communist formulation arrived in Paris. That package, which seemed to contain several points of concession, had little effect on the content of Nixon's presentation, but it decided him on form and timing, "He was going to hold the speech in his pocket for a propitious moment," said one assistant.

Going to the University of Pennsylvania for the athletic program used to be like going to Wool-worth's to buy a suit. But some of the more ambitious persons connected with Penn went out to rustle up some jocks, and the shortest of chats with some of the Quaker's heavyweight oarsmen, last Saturday at Worcester makes it quite clear that they came up with a pretty rare and rugged species. After a while, even the most docile...
