...President's meeting in California last week with Ellsworth Bunker, the ambassador to Saigon, and General Andrew Goodpaster, deputy chief of U.S. forces in Viet Nam, may be only one of a series of crucial meetings aimed at new moves toward peace (see THE WORLD).

Said Agnew: "I'll be on Meet the Press, opposite the Army-Navy game; on Face the Nation opposite General de Gaulle's arrival at the White House; and on Issues and Answers opposite live coverage of Julie and David's surprise party for Ted Kennedy - at the ranch." But Nix on also promised him, he said, "that when he's ready to recognize Red China, he'll let me announce...
