...checking allowed the husky Eagle forwards to penetrate Harvard territory almost at will, and a failure of the defense to come to meet the attack until it was too late plunged the Crimson into serious trouble throughout the late stages of the contest. So instead of increasing a two-goal lead during the third period. Harvard found itself desperately trying to keep from losing it, and ultimately, was unsuccessful...
Nixon told the Senator that he wants to "virtually eliminate" American involvement in Viet Nam by 1972. To meet this goal, he will pull out "nearly all" of the ground combat troops before the end of 1970; he believes that American casualties will have become "insignificant" by then. At the end of 1971, he intends to have withdrawn most of the combat support units as well. Thus, by election year 1972, the U.S. would have substantially fewer than 40,000 soldiers, serving only as advisers, in Viet...
...political power in Europe will be in the hands of a generation that remembers World War II and even the cold war as passages of history rather than living events.

"The idea of redesigning a way of life is going to be the dominant theme of the '70s," says Behaviorist B. F. Skinner. Young people will continue to fear large institutions, he believes...
Brandt's anti-Nazi past and his Social Democratic politics acquit him of responsibility for the Germany of that other era. But his goal, too, is an independent Germany-or as he said in October, "a liberated, not a conquered Germany." But he acknowledges that the talk so far has concerned "atmospherics" or small points. Key points, like the recognition of East Germany or the normalization of divided Berlin, may well be years away...
