...that question is really what the Moscow summit is all about, though perhaps none of those present in St. George's Hall would frame their purpose in such a transparent way. Certainly not Brezhnev, Kosygin and the other Russian hosts. Judging by the initial head-on assault against China, they have cast aside the promises made to many of the delegations and are determined to wrench from the parties the long sought writ of excommunication against Mao Tse-tung.

A few poems are written long to fulfill the form and must take all their life from one or two wonderful lines. Butt others are made taut and alive by their structure...
Rose Kennedy gave birth to the man who would become the 35th President of the U.S. in a gray frame house at 83 Beals Street in Brookline, just outside Boston. Last week she returned with two of her other children, Senator Edward Kennedy and Mrs. Jean Kennedy Smith, to present the house to the National Park Service as a memorial. It would have been John Fitzgerald Kennedy's 52nd birthday...
