At that time, the U.S. quietly drafted the resolution that set the terms of a peace settlement and called for the U.N.'s Gunnar Jarring to mediate between sides.

As a cantankerous, outspoken symbol of the unindexed human spirit, Lundquist is too dangerous to be allowed to roam the nation's slums...
...fitting that women should be protected along with Negroes by civil rights legislation, because the metaphor of Woman as Negro has been expressed by practically every observer of feminine subjugation from John Stuart Mill to Yoko Ono. As Gunnar Myrdal noted in his classic American Dilemma, both groups have been hampered by the same prejudices: that they were inferior in many ways, and also that they believed themselves to be inferior...
