...Italian Columnist Levi thinks there is a "fundamental fear that for the second consecutive time, the U.S. will draw its own lessons from history. It applied lessons learned in Europe in the '40s and '50s to Asia and found to its dismay Asia was not Europe. To extract itself from the Asian mistake, it had to play a balance-of-power maneuver. The fear is that Washington may apply the lessons learned in Asia in the '60s to Europe in the '70s. A balance-of-power game in Europe would be a disaster...
...considered dependent on their parents. Some observers have cited grad students who are allegedly the scions of millionaires and said they are attempting to cadge a free ride at Harvard's expense. This argument smacks of welfare Cadillacism. To insure that the purported chiselers are pilloried, these observers would extract more payments from hard--pressed middle and lower income parents-whose children predominate in the GSAS--and who have already helped fund their children's undergraduate studies.

The news of the bombing halt was as puzzling as it was welcome. Nixon had broken off the peace talks in anger at what he regarded as Hanoi's intransigence. He had sent the bombers north on a scale greater than any in the long...
