...more humane than bullets and bombs. A liver-spotted general emeritus told me how germs give me (us-US) a bonus area of death, and how we had germs because the Russians had germs, and how we would like to fall back on gems if that would prevent nuclear holocaust. At the end of all of this Mike lowered his script and reassured me that this complex, emotional, controversial subject (his voice now granitic and beer dark) was being subjected to a general review by President Nixon.

...black ghettos of the U.S. since the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. in April 1968. By a Department of Justice count, the number of racial disturbances of all sizes has fallen off sharply in 1969 from the two previous summers (see chart, next page).

For all their power, the U.S. and Russia found it difficult if not impossible to restrain...
...however, was the only thing he could get his teeth into. In a way, he said, it made sense. Next to high school football, the war was all we had to talk about. I was surprised at how healthy he seemed, and how little effected he seemed by the holocaust in which he had been a living part. No deeply anguished eyes. No haunted expressions. No nothing. He had accepted it and I haven't. So essentially, it was war adventures that kept my wife waiting. Waiting placidly...
