...causes a North Vietnamese policy change that is not yet apparent and does not seem likely, Nixon's announced goal of "a peace we can be proud of" is no closer than it was when the Administration took office in January. Rather, Nixon may have to face the fact that the Communists are prepared to wait him out indefinitely, convinced that sooner rather than later a U.S. public weary of the war will force the issue on the President. Thus Washington's real choice may amount to fighting on as it has since 1965 or making some...
...hand to greet President Richard Nixon at Gulfport, Miss. Municipal Airport last week was a nearly all white crowd of 30,000. They were in a festive, exuberant mood, despite the fact that some had waited more than five hours to see the first Chief Executive since Harry Truman to visit their state...
MODERN American speech, while not always clear or correct or turned with much style, is supposed to be uncommonly frank. Witness the current explosion of four-letter words and the explicit discussion of sexual topics. In fact, gobbledygook and nice-Nellyism still extend as far as the ear can hear.

Or are they simply coarser ways of expressing physical actions and parts of the human anatomy...
...visitors were, in fact, American tourists-San Marinese émigrés who had left the tiny republic in the Apennines of northern Italy years ago to settle in New York, Detroit and Sandusky, Ohio. But they were in the right queue. With their families, 450 San Marinese had enthusiastically boarded jets holding tickets paid for by the republic's Christian Democratic Party. Their mission was to help the Christian Democrats, leaders of the coalition that has ruled the country since 1957, stave off a ballot-box challenge by San Marino's Communist Party...
