...before curtain time and everyone had a bit too much of his or "her" favorite beverage. As Roger S. Hewlett '33 recounted it: "When the curtain arose disclosing the 'picture'--hero in a tree, cast kneeling before it on the ground--their plight soon became evident. The hero fell headlong from the tree and lay prone on the stage, and when rescue came in was found that the chorus was sound asleep to a man. The curtain redescended immediately...
...Headlong Trouble. The biggest trouble was that the Soviets were in a headlong rush to motorize; they insisted that the plant be in operation within three years from the day that ground was broken in January 1967. The country had only a fledgling auto industry at the time, so the plant had to have its own foundries and forges, and turn out its own spare parts and accessories.

Inevitable. Though Hanoi's anger and suspicion were thoroughly aroused by Richard Nixon's decision to stall the headlong negotiations beyond North Viet Nam's Oct. 31 "deadline" and the U.S. election, there never was much doubt that the North Vietnamese were still eager for a settlement. The Administration revealed last week that Hanoi had agreed in principle before the U.S. election to talk over the "six or seven issues" Kissinger had mentioned in his dramatic Oct. 26 TV press conference. After the Nov. 7 landslide, the North Vietnamese proposed to begin the talks...
