...petition, in support of which Professor Reischauer addressed a letter to his colleagues on the Faculty, declares that "the earliest possible achievement of a negotiated settlement should be a primary objective of American policy in Vietnam." The wording here is deliberately ambiguous. Our own position is that there is little to negotiate except immediate American withdrawal and perhaps reparations to the Vietnamese people.

...White, 43, a musicologist and harpsichordist who took over the Pro Musica after Founder Noah Greenberg died in 1966, has no intention of abandoning such efforts.

It was the first print to which he signed his full name, and scholars have called it the first great Italian engraving. And making its copy all the more valuable, Cleveland now possesses the only un-reworked first...
...From the earliest times the moment of death has been recognized as the time the heart beat ceased. Is there adequate evidence now that the "moment of death" should be advanced to coincide with brain death while the heart continues to beat...
