Many of these "commitments" are more apparent than real, since they cannot be carried out without the approval of Congress. The purpose of these agreements, as the late Senator Walter George once noted, was to deter potential aggressors "from reckless conduct by a clear-cut declaration of our intentions." Often it has been shown that intentions cannot be made all that clear-resulting in misunderstanding by friend and foe alike...
...demonstrate within 500 feet of an embassy. At present, the best course is probably for law-enforcement officials to try to make a strong case against J.D.L. members if there is evidence that they are breaking existing laws-as in the latest charges against Kahane. That may well deter the more offensive assaults on Soviet diplomats and their families...
...Indochina will not end this Spring. There is nothing that the American people, or the people of Southeast Asia, can do to stop the war by June. It would be politically immature, or adventurist, to think otherwise. But this should not deter those of us who say we are against the war, nor should we be discouraged by it.

No amount of courage and self-sacrifice by the Indochinese can stop raids by hundreds of B-52's based...
...strong, but so is Frazier. No amount of bluster is likely to deter Smokin' Joe, a raging, bobbing, weaving, rolling swarmer who moves in one basic direction?right at his opponent's gut. A kind of motorized Marciano, he works his short arms like pistons, pumping away with such mechanical precision that he consistently throws between 54 and 58 punches each round.

When the pummeling begins to slow his opponent, when the guard drops to protect the stomach, Frazier tosses a murderous left hook...
...than the difference between 4-1 and 1-0 for those stuck in Houses which can't go coed in order to achieve the lower ratios elsewhere? It's impossible, of course, to say. But the high ratios this year-and the even higher ones last Spring-did not deter many more women than there was room for from trying to move from the 3-2 ratio at Radcliffe to the Harvard Houses; so the disadvantages of a 4-1 ratio can at least be overcome by certain physical and geographic factors, and therefore are not as near the infinite...
