Nothing so unsettling has happened to Austin during the preliminaries of the 1972 campaign-at least not yet. Part of a Washington-based team whose members rotate among the would-be candidates, Austin drew Edmund Muskie as his first assignment. His reporting for this week's cover story really began eight months ago when he got his first long, close look at the Senator by accompanying him to London, the Middle East and Moscow. Austin has also talked politics with Muskie from Thomas Point, Me., to Capitol Hill. The only heavy objects hitting Austin during this period were...

They looked like anatomies of death; they spake like ghosts crying out of their graves...
COLUMBIA has long been known for the work done by Literary Historian William de Bary and Translator-Critic Burton Watson in assembling source material on classical Chinese literary traditions. Political Scientist Donald W. Klein is a biographer of current Chinese leaders; O. Edmund Clubb, who was U.S. consul-general in Peking until 1950, has taken a leading role in publicizing the arguments for new U.S. initiatives toward China. Michel Oksenberg, a younger scholar, has shown that bureaucratic decisions in China, far from being totalitarian, can be as complex as they...
