...problems of the Middle East and Latin America. But in the broad range of foreign affairs, a liberal Republican Senator argues that there are no longer any really dominant personalities on the world scene. This, he says, might increase international good will. "Nixon has a real chance, a great chance," he argues. "There is a balance of mediocrity in the world now. The world could move forward because that is so." One area in which Nixon has moved is in U.S. relations with the Soviet Union. With luck, and if the Pentagon's generals can find agreement with the Arms...
Even if the President were more of an activist in domestic affairs, he would have great difficulty in making his will law. He must be very selective, picking his battles with care. He feels that he has limited political capital to spend, but he is cheerful about his future. At a surprise party in the Rose Garden last week, marking the anniversary of his nomination, Nixon reflected: "We won a close election. We did not win the House or the Senate.

...Rails. Earnest, articulate and somehow despairingly sanguine, Ginsberg at 43 is busy providing a kind of air-ferry service across the contemporary great divides: the generation gap and the moral abyss that seem to separate absolutist youth from pragmatic age. Behind Ginsberg's freaky fagade there has always been a core of pure humanism and of religion-in an almost planetary sense. In an era in which most people accept violence as the way life is, Ginsberg has managed to remain fervently gentle. If he still calls for nothing less than a complete revolution, he also insists that...
