...months, and had ordered National Security Adviser Henry Kissinger to begin drafting it a week before the new Communist formulation arrived in Paris. That package, which seemed to contain several points of concession, had little effect on the content of Nixon's presentation, but it decided him on form and timing, "He was going to hold the speech in his pocket for a propitious moment," said one assistant. "When the V.C. came along, that was the propitious moment." Originally contemplating a more casual press conference delivery, Nixon instead arranged for prime TV time. There was a sense...

Hobson (Gentleman's Agreement), whose son was among the 42 rebels expelled after last winter's sit-in at the University of Chicago.

More for Less. A group called Half-Fair was founded by three Princeton students, Bradley Olsen, 20, Jeffrey Stahl, 21, and Mark Smith, 19. They drafted model petitions and form letters to Congressmen, and sent them out to 120 student newspapers in all 50 states. Simultaneously, at the University of Denver, Sophomore David Shapin, 19, organized 200 of his fellow students and began corresponding with interested students, college newspaper editors and Congressmen. Bitter editorials began appearing in the campus press, and letters by the thousands rained on Congressmen and airline executives. Both the National Student Association and the Campus Americans...
