Such hortatory headlines do not convey the most significant message of People's Daily. That comes in the pages devoted to news. So subtle does the process get that foreign readers are better served by a ruler than a glossary. A recent visit by a Chinese medical team to the U.S., for instance, was given more space than a trip by the same team to France, a sure sign-experts claim-of China's priorities in foreign affairs. Several weeks ago, two large, front-page pictures of Henry Kissinger with Chairman Mao Tse-tung confirmed to China watchers...
RICHARD NIXON was delighted last week by an unexpected four-minute telephone call to the San Clemente White House. From Clark Air Base in the Philippines, newly released P.O.W. Colonel Robinson Risner told him: "The men would like me to convey to you, Mr. President, that it would be the greatest personal honor and pleasure to shake your hand and tell you personally how proud we are to have you as our President...
...tradition. As an eighth-grader, David Lawrence would walk four miles to the Buffalo public library to read the Congressional Record. That tide of small print did not intimidate him but carried him close to great men and events.

At 21 he made another pledge: "Not to drink any whisky, any coffee or any tea, so as to try to keep in training for the job." He remained fit indeed, and he came to view...
...phrasing of his ideas in a form that is supposed to facilitate understanding, frequently lapses into technological jargon. That fact did not seem to bother the Harvard selection committee that awarded Fuller the 1961-62 Charles Eliot Norton Professorship, a chair once occupied by T.S. Eliot. In trying to convey and assess Bucky, Hugh Kenner, a literary man who has written books on Joyce, Beckett and Pound, solves the Fuller packaging problem brilliantly. Instead of boxes, he spins a sort of geodesic Glad Bag in which Fuller's life, work and Utopian ideals are clearly and excitingly displayed, even...
...White House sent former Commerce Secretary Peter Peterson on a trip to Europe to convey U.S. concern about the money storm. The German and Japanese governments were struggling hard to keep the prices of their currencies from rising, because that would hurt exporters, who supply many jobs. But the Bundesbank cannot keep buying dollars at the present pace very long. If the speculative storm does not subside soon, the Germans may have to float or revalue their mark upward for the third time in 40 months...
