...seeding of North Vietnamese harbors with mines. Then he launched the biggest, bloodiest air strikes ever aimed at the North. Nixon seemed determined to bomb Hanoi into a settlement that he is willing to accept. As the old year gave way to the new, the Nixon-Kissinger design that only a few short weeks ago had seemed to be irresistibly leading to a settlement was again in question, and hope was once again overshadowed by doubt (see MEN OF THE YEAR, page...
...many times before in America's longest and strangest war, the peace proved once again elusive. As the Paris negotiations dissolved in a fog of linguistic ambiguities and recriminations, Richard Nixon suddenly sent the bombers north again. All through the year, Nixon and Kissinger labored at a new global design, a multipolar world in which an equilibrium of power would ensure what Nixon called "a full generation of peace."

He will take on a dwelling, says his office, "if it allows him to explore new ideas." Such exploration would necessarily include "a nice site and a client who is not only nice but who will also allow construction without an economic struggle." Breuer's value is universally acknowledged. His price: 15% of the building's cost, the standard commission charged...
