Early this week Secretary of State Henry Kissinger embarks on his latest-and almost certainly last-diplomatic foray. It may also be his most dangerous and most difficult because its goal is nothing less than preventing a race war in southern Africa...
...many observers, that foray is the most peculiar yet for the former Minnesota Democratic Senator with the poet's mane of white hair and the cool wit. McCarthy's Washington headquarters currently has all of five staffers. National Campaign Director Jerry Eller, a former administrative assistant to McCarthy, allows as how his best workers in California are "Gary and Michelle ... um ... I don't know their last names. We don't use last names much around here ... and then we have, um, Mark and Randy in ... uh ... other states." Even after two earlier runs...
...most New Englanders, the correct pronunciation of jai alai was, like a suntan, something acquired on vacation in Florida. Since early this summer, however, when the sport made its first foray north with the opening of two jai alai frontons, or arenas, in Connecticut, bettors have learned to say hi-lie quite properly-and, for the state, very profitably. Nearly $1 million a day pours through the betting windows at Hartford and Bridgeport from capacity crowds newly hooked on the world's fastest game and the fast buck...
Henry Kissinger planned his latest global foray with the care of a man who might not soon be making another. He had already decided that unless a crisis should intervene (over SALT or southern Africa, for instance), he would not be traveling outside the U.S. again until after the November elections.

That ruled out China, the Soviet Union or the Middle East, where Kissinger's presence might...
...there is anything that has been gained by the City Council's foray into basic research, it's the positive right to place a Cambridge resident or residents on future research policy review boards within the University. If a resident had been involved in 1965, perhaps the potential dangers of the accelerator that exploded may have been more easily recognized. And, if a resident had been on the biohazards committee at its inception, perhaps the proposal to place the facility within the Bio Labs would have been recognized as being outlandish. As it is now, Cambridge's entrance...
