...carrying Mary Jo Kopechne to her death, the scars of stress and self-doubt have etched themselves into Teddy Kennedy's face and affected his voice and actions. None of his friends expected him to regain his equilibrium soon. Now, among both friends and political intimates, who initially felt that his withdrawal from presidential contention and his expressed intention to remain in the Senate would suspend the harassments plaguing him, there is a growing fear that he is being driven from public life...
...invasion may prove to have had a lasting and lamentable impact. On the eve of the invasion, Moscow had advised Washington that it was ready to launch the Strategic Arms Limitations Talks (SALT) on Sept. 30, 1968 (see THE NATION). After the Soviet tanks rumbled into Prague, the U.S. felt compelled to cancel the talks. They have yet to be rescheduled.

His lessons by now have been so absorbed into architectural thought that the young have often felt impatient at the Mies formulas, the "less is more," the implicitly arrogant demand to produce something more spare, more pure. Mies' discipline is demanding, and except in his hands, a confining one. No one can build a better Seagram Building. And by its very austerity, Mies' esthetic provides no vocabulary for a whole city landscape-a topic that obsesses most young architects, who talk not of individual buildings...
