...dilemma remains: a negotiated peace does not seem readily at hand while Thieu and Ky hold power-and while Hanoi continues to insist that they must go. One possible answer may lie not in logic but evolution. It could come about as the timetable of U.S. withdrawals continues to unfold. At some point down the track, Thieu and Ky are likely to reach the conclusion that if they cannot live forever with Americans present to protect them, then they cannot operate without the Communists. When that point is reached, it may well be that something like an electoral or control...
Procaccino's durability as a personality is questionable. Lindsay, for the most part, has shucked his own stiff pugnacity for the duration of the campaign at least. He is speaking quietly and candidly about his own record and the unfinished business at hand. He has also managed to put the more emotional Procaccino on the defensive in some respects. The comptroller has had to spend a good deal of time explaining why he preferred not to debate on television; last week he finally accepted the challenge. He has had to deny repeatedly that he is racist...
...want you to know that as far as I'm concerned, each man in this city is as good as any man." The leader and entourage sweep down the street.

Pompidou rightly fears that a round of wage increases would force him to cheapen the recently devalued franc still further. A policy of intransigence, on the other hand, could lead to massive shutdowns. There was some speculation that Pompidou might have hit upon a middle alternative last week when he suggested that Renault workers be made shareholders in the factory (Charles de Gaulle's "participation" plan, by contrast, offered workers a role in policymaking...
...even be concessions to private incentive. The compelling need to restore domestic calm might be enough to keep the nation out of foreign adventure. China's military stance is therefore likely to remain defensive for some time-provided the feud with the Soviets does not get out of hand. The dispute between the two nations is at an extremely sensitive juncture. For roughly three months, the Soviets have been exerting strenuous efforts to draw China into negotiations on border problems; to give their attempts muscle, they seem to be implying that unless the Chinese agree to a resumption...
