...real military victory was also rendered impossible, General Creighton Abrams is known to believe, as long as enemy troops could flee across the border to Laos and Cambodia and not be hunted down. These sanctuaries give a badly battered enemy time to recover. Although some exceptions have been made, official U.S. policy forbids pursuit across these borders...
Except for a few quiet outings, including an Armistice Day pilgrimage to World War I battlefields, Charles de Gaulle has stayed close to his country place at Colombey-les-Deux-Églises since his retirement in April. The general, who turned 79 last month, has seen few visitors, but his most respected biographer, Raymond Tournoux of Paris-Match magazine, reports that he has by no means turned marmoreal. As Tournoux tells it, De Gaulle paces his garden, rails at events and "prepares for death like a man who has not stopped thinking of it for several years." He has rejected...
Nonetheless, supporters outnumber detractors.

...Critics-many of them inside the N.C.C. -argue that its cumbersome bureaucracy can do little more than issue position papers on current problems, and that practical accomplishments like its controversial Delta Ministry, which works among poor Mississippi Negroes, are rare exceptions. During preparations for this month's triennial general assembly in Detroit, Christian Century predicted that the N.C.C. would see "a crunch of intense feelings and an unleashing of the urge to tell it like it is." The crunch came last week in Detroit's Cobo Hall. In its meetings, at least, the N.C.C. was clearly in tune...
