...probably differ more in style than in substance. Yet to the extent that there are two divergent bodies of opinion within Nixon's inner circle-at least on Viet Nam and ABM systems-Laird and Rogers probably exemplify them. The President, still playing for time, has so far kept to a cautious middle course. But sooner or later he may have to choose one tack over the other...

Though we differ with the late Mr. Justice Frankfurter on what the best educational system would be, we take hope in his faith that the student body is an essential source of energy for developing a better community at Harvard Law School...

Scott Paper is testing its "babyScotts," a two-part assembly consisting of a permanent outer panty into which fits a disposable diaper. Kimberly-Clark, maker of Kleenex, is test-marketing Kimbies, which differ from Pampers and Chux in that they have adhesive tabs that do away with the need for safety pins. Officers of Kimberly-Clark estimate that the total diaper market is now $1 billion a year, and they predict that disposables will eventually win half...
