...Marines?the U.S. should be prepared to use to free the ship and its crew. Schlesinger urged that the U.S. should move cautiously to avoid overreacting, and should use only the minimum strength necessary to get back the ship and crew. But Kissinger maintained that the U.S. had to employ enough force to give the operation broad political impact in Asia, particularly as regards North Korea, which has lately sounded more belligerent toward South Korea. He called for a sharp, decisive blow...
...unconscionable amount of time it requires for the blonde mistress of Falconhurst to invite into her bed the handsome black slave (Ken Norton) her husband purchased to improve the breeding stock down in the quarters. Until this moment we cannot be certain that the movie is going to employ every cliche of antebellum melodrama. The possibility that the perfection of its tastelessness will be marred through oversight or the impulse to provide novelty through omission is an irritant.

The two cultures of humanism and science have probably come closer to merging in history than in any other field...

He urged the Congress to clarify his now murky authority to use American troops in Viet Nam for "the limited purpose of protecting American lives by ensuring their evacuation, if this should become necessary." He also pleaded with Congress to amend existing law so that he could employ the same forces to help bring out the vulnerable South Vietnamese?to whom, he said, the U.S. has a "special obligation." And Ford set an urgent deadline of the end of this week for Congress...
