...Nixon and his advisers, the ideal answer is "mutuality." Under this approach, the negotiators in Paris would work out a reciprocal and, if possible, concurrent withdrawal plan satisfactory to North Viet Nam and the U.S. alike. The Administration is banking-perhaps too optimistically-on Hanoi's having a growing desire for peace. As the Air Force had it, the massive U.S. bombardment of North Viet Nam would crack that nation's morale. It achieved the opposite result: by putting everyone in the front lines, the bombing created a spirit of defiance. But, as the theory goes, without...
Apropos of Professor Bruner's remarks before today's Faculty meeting that ROTC could conceivably be reorganized on a city-wide or regional basis on U.S. military property, I find it hard to imagine why such an arrangement would not be ultimately ideal from the Military's point of view. An ROTC organized like the Army Active Reserve or National Guard, with weekly meetings and occasional weekend camps, would remove military training from the disruptions and criticism it can continue to expect so long as it remains, in any form, connected with the universities.

...fact that the Queen herself once had a drawing master who wrote The Owl and the Pussy-Cat. Subsidized as they were with honey and plenty of money wrapped up in a five-pound note, the owl and the pussycat went on to achieve that monumental Victorian ideal, a happy marriage. Their creator, Edward Lear, however, never wed, though he sometimes used to talk sentimentally about marriage as "making a nest in the olive trees." It is not recorded whether the little Queen gave so much as a fiver to her instructor...
