...next step for both sides will be indirect negotiations under Gunnar Jarring's supervision. Working inside his customary cocoon of secrecy, the Swedish diplomat last week began sounding out Arab and Israeli U.N. ambassadors in Manhattan about arrangements for the meetings. The Israelis, who are eager to begin face-to-face negotiations as soon as possible, reportedly want to keep the indirect ones close to home (perhaps on Cyprus). The Arabs, who refuse to bargain at the same table with Israel, prefer New York. One possible compromise might be to begin the talks on Cyprus, then move...
...shown. The day after the Kent State shootings, a crowd of 20,000 young people gathered on the steps of the Massachusetts Statehouse to protest. As Republican Governor Francis Sargent looked down, the crowd chanted: "Lower the flag! Lower the flag!" Sargent did so. The encounter was an indirect affirmation by youth of the country's most enduring symbol; the lowering of the flag to half-staff seemed to them a proper and necessary tribute to their fellow students who had fallen...

Truman in Korea and Johnson in the Dominican Republic.

Last year Congress went further by barring the introduction of U.S. ground-combat units in Laos and Thailand. Rather than object, the White House said that the restriction was in keeping with Administration policy...

The 26 million Americans who own stock directly constitute one of the nation's largest minorities. Those who have at least an indirect interest in the market, through participation in mutual funds, pension funds and other institutions, number 100 million, or almost half the total U.S. population. The pensions that millions of citizens eventually will receive depend partly on the performance of the stocks in which their funds invest...
