...President, in his keynote address to the delegates, professed total commitment to eliminating hunger. He said: "On May 6, I asserted to the Congress that 'the moment is at hand to put an end to hunger in America itself for all time.' Speaking for this Administration, I not only accept that responsibility, I claim the responsibility." In the same speech, however, Nixon betrayed a certain insensitivity in an anecdote that unwittingly underlined the vast gulf between the affluent and the hungry in America. Once when he went on a diet, Nixon told the meeting, "the doctor had told...
...concept that bombing the North could end the war has been effectively questioned by Townsend Hoopes, Under Secretary of the Air Force from 1967 until last February.

In it, Mao inveighs against those who are "divorced from the masses . . . rotten sensualists who glut themselves for days on end . . . engage in speculation . . . call a doctor when they are not sick." In sum, bureaucrats are "eight-sided and as slippery as eels...
...Papadopoulos and his fellow colonels is fearful that suspension from the Council, a powerless but prestigious European mini-U.N., would tarnish Greece's already marred image. Junta officials have threatened some European nations with trade reprisals if they voted against Greece. Even so, at week's end as many as eight nations were in favor of suspending Greece from participation in the Council until the colonels either step down or reform. But two crucial votes (those of West Germany and Ireland) were still uncommitted, and it was uncertain whether the suspension motion would carry...
