...liberal Javits who unexpectedly supplied the pivotal vote-startling even Ford-as a subcommittee of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee voted to provide $125 million in emergency aid and $90 million for humanitarian help (such as food and medical supplies). Democrat Hubert Humphrey, who chaired the subcommittee, argued that Cambodia's military situation was "hopeless," the Lon Nol government was too weak to negotiate and the Administration wanted the aid merely to show that the U.S. had not "copped out."

The lure of the crag and the mystery of the Pyramids were Napoleonic properties; and when Hubert Robert, in 1798, took a maypole dance in Arcady and transformed it into a ring of nymphs dancing around an eroded and indecently suggestive obelisk, he gave a pastoral form to the obsession which, in part, seems to have driven Napoleon to the Nile -the symbolic conquest of eternity...
