Even more egregiously, Burns and the wires related verbatim the official claims from Salisbury that guerilla defections were mounting after the elections. Vietnam is not so long gone that no one remembers the body-counts of dead Viet-Cong. If those counts were correct, half of Asia's population fought and died for the NLF. This imbalance, this reliance on Salisbury officials to keep Americans informed, might be correct if the Times and other media sent correspondents to Mozambique and Zambia, to cover the war from the guerillas' side. But that's not likely--foreign correspondents cost too much money...
...company has been marketing it with considerable success since last September. The red and yellow plastic device asks wide-eyed kids and fascinated adults to spell words as easy as was or as difficult as quotient by punching out the letters on a keyboard. It then responds, "That is correct," or "That is incorrect," and gives the bad speller two more chances before it spells the word itself and goes on to the next word. The chip has a vocabulary of 250 words, and another chip called Vowel Power can add 150 more. The voice is a male monotone patterned...

Trudeau has attempted to combine the unity issue with that of leadership, saying he is the only person capable of dealing with Levesque. Indeed, he is correct: negotiating with the separatists would lead to increased pressure from other quarters in Canada. Clark, who may not win any of the seventy-odd seats in Quebec (out of 264 total), would certainly not have a mandate from Quebec. And Levesque's most powerful argument would be implicit: if Canadians...
...band and honor guard marched smartly past the assembled officials and journalists. Israeli musicians and soldiers quickly followed. Then each band played for the guests, and played again. And again. And again. By the time an hour had passed, most spectators suspected something had gone wrong, and they were correct: after 17 months of negotiations, the two countries were still haggling over the language in the Egyptian-Israeli peace treaty and its accompanying documents...
