...thin that desegregation would be markedly slowed down. The Stennis-Ribicoff logic suggests that school integration cannot occur unless and until all U.S. society changes-so that the classroom would become not the first but the last place to integrate. If anything is to change according to this formula, integration must occur in such fields as jobs and housing-and it remains in doubt what the backers of the Stennis amendment are willing to do about that. To proclaim sectional equality in order to preserve racial inequality has become at once Southern strategy, liberal confusion and a kind of moral...
...ELECTION SLOGAN "CONTINUITY AND OPENING": I have the weakness to think that there is no other formula for life than continuity and opening. In the old man there exists something that was already present in the child. That is continuity. Yet it would, of course, be absurd for him to keep on sucking his thumb all his life. He must open himself up to life as he gradually changes. ON FRANCE: My chief preoccupation is to make of France a modern country. This means many things. It means the transformation of agriculture, industrialization, the opening of frontiers, scientific and technical...

...long time, Nixon deliberately avoided raising any rhetorical pennants; he did not coin his own equivalent of the "New Frontier" or the "Great Society." Lately, he has settled upon the doctrine of a New Federalism-a formula that embodies the Nixonian ideal of power diffused downward to state and local authorities. The notion is not so different from the New Left's "Power to the People!"-except that Nixon has different people in mind. And unlike some participatory democrats, the President would keep the states and localities on a long, loose but authoritative federal leash...
...Generation. The terrorism has placed an added strain on leaders of the Greek and Turkish communities, who have been trying vainly for 19 months to work out a formula for peaceful coexistence. For two years, Turkish Cypriots have been permitted to travel and work throughout the Greek areas. But the dozens of Turkish enclaves scattered across the island, complete with separate schools and public services, remain isolated and economically depressed. While the Greek Cypriot economy flourishes, the Turkish community is forced to support its 20,000 unemployed with annual handouts of $20 million from the Turkish government. Even more serious...
