In the first class, frosh heard New York Timesman James ("Scotty") Reston tell them how to make news. Senator Hugh Scott, Pennsylvania Republican, and Senator Eugene McCarthy, Minnesota Democrat, both lately risen from the Lower House to the Continuing Body...
...neutralizing Germany, suggested that Russian and Western troops each withdraw 500 miles from Berlin. Such a retreat, leaving the Russians comfortably on their own soil, the U.S. uncomfortably somewhere west of Paris, had twice before been urged by the Russians, twice before been rejected by the West. Nonetheless, Minnesota Democrat Hubert Humphrey, who had met Mikoyan during his headlined Kremlin visit (TIME, Dec. 15), thought Mikoyan showed "flexibility of attitude...
