Secretary of State Dean Rusk at week's end gingerly held out the possibility of a brief pax in hello-on the ground and in the air-over Christmas and, seven weeks later, during Tet, the Vietnamese New Year. Rusk pointedly withheld any promise of an extended unilateral truce. "We ought to distinguish," he added, "between what might happen at Christmas and the idea of a general pause."

Alice reclaimed alimony on a compelling ground: her second husband had not been divorced from a previous wife and her second marriage was void. Too bad, ruled New York Civil Court Judge Sidney H. Asch. Since Alice "intended to abrogate her right to support" when she remarried, Harry is off the hook for good...
