...real estate deal was apparently innocuous and innocent, but Baker's name is enough to frighten most politicians. To some Republicans, Haynsworth's questionable judgment, described by one G.O.P. Senator as not a matter of dishonesty but "ethical opaqueness," combined with Bobby Baker, was too much. No matter what the facts were, they feared that Haynsworth would be condemned by the public...
Vater Brandt has no such reservations. Once in the Palais, he can be expected to deal immediately with mark revaluation and the signing of the nuclear non-proliferation pact (which Kiesinger resisted on the ground that it could leave Germany at a disadvantage in peaceful nuclear research). Brandt's main task will be to look eastward. He and Scheel are agreed on an approach to East Germany, which the Christian Democrats preferred to pretend did not exist.

In Viet Nam, the lessons are being learned...
There is a great deal of comment in all these works. The hat, for example, is an image every English major at college encounters as far back as the medieval balladeers who sang of the brave Sir Patrick Spens, who drowned leaving no trace but a floating hat. In Washington's scissors there is the suggestion of red tape and the hint of emasculation...
