...must be checked," the U.S. reserves "the right to answer the legitimate appeal of any nation, particularly small nations." But the U.S. "seeks always to keep within the spirit of the Charter." When the U.S. "responded to the urgent pleas of Lebanon, we went at once to the Security Council and sought U.N. assistance for Lebanon so as to permit the withdrawal of U.S. forces," but that approach was blocked by Soviet vetoes...
Biggest achievement: in recent months, accreditation has come to seven member colleges (three of which, in effect, graduated out of the council upon reaching this milestone). For the rest of its 65 members, the C.A.S.C. offers shared experience, advice and an evangelistic optimism. Says Executive Secretary Alfred T.

Despondent, sure to lose his job, Andy chokes up a sopping little farewell speech before a packed crowd at the city council meeting, then slopes off round-shouldered to pack his bags.
