...Western allies as a practical means to prevent nuclear proliferation; but he will not try to coerce allies into accepting it. He hopes that the U.S. and French President Charles de Gaulle may find wider areas of agreement, but he is resigned to the possibility that this may not happen. He feels that the U.S. is pursuing the best course in South Viet Nam, wants the U.S. neither to expand that war nor to withdraw. Only last week Johnson prudently agreed to renegotiate the Panama Canal treaty as Panama has been demanding-and just as prudently announced the intention...
Cozy Clubbers. To put together a majority against Halleck, Jerry Ford will have to win support from a wide variety of Republicans, ranging from deep-dyed conservatives who happen to have a grudge against Charlie, to members of the relatively liberal Wednesday Club (so called because the group usually meets on Wednesday afternoons). The Wednesday Clubbers so far are being cozy about supporting Ford in hopes of winning pledges from him to give them preferred committee assignments when and if he beats Halleck...
When asked, "What kind of government does most of China have now?" or "Do you happen to know if there is any Communist government in China now?", an incredible 28% indicated that they did not know.

Many fled because their villages were overrun by the Viet Cong, others because they feared it was about to happen. For quite a few it was a second exodus: they first moved when the Reds took over North Viet Nam ten years ago. North or South, Catholics are treated more harshly by the Reds than are Buddhists. There are, of course, many Buddhists staunchly fighting the Viet Cong-both Premier Tran...
...feet for Christmas, swore the junior Senator from Massachusetts. And out of New England Baptist Hospital he stiffly strode with his wife Joan. In a bracing (20°) Boston breeze, Teddy Kennedy, 32, cracked brittle jokes ("I just happen to have with me a speech that I didn't get to make at the Democratic convention in West Springfield last June"), then carefully eased into a convertible for a rootin'-tootin' motorcade to the airport. A commercial jet took him to Miami, and the family Caroline on the last leg of his odyssey to his two children...
