...Woman to Beat. Well financed, and protectively handled by the astute political PR firm of Whitaker & Baxter, Mrs. Black stands aloof from the men in her race, refusing to debate, shielding herself from interviews and making the rounds of teas and kaffeeklatsches reciting a script of prepared cliches. When someone cracks the simplistic pattern, her pleasant, natural naivete congeals into frigid, wary courtesy. Yet her aversion to pornography, big government, welfarism, crime, dope and Ho Chi Minh has thrust the gamut of national issues into the campaign along with such peninsular problems as high taxes, education and the noise from...

Yet he concedes that China, under a firm, unifying hand and armed with nuclear weapons, may one day join the five existing "vital" areas as a formidable sixth. It would thus automatically become of prime concern to the U.S. to contain a Communist-ruled China. How to do it is another question, and Kennan has no ready answer. He simply does...
That end could have been served with less harsh punishment. It could have been served had there been instead of punishment a firm definition of the University's policy towards future demonstrations. The penalty was needlessly severe. More important, the assignment of punishment was arbitrary and unjust...
