...Lyndon Johnson, too, who was personally responsible for the most controversial item in the communique-Point 29-pledging an allied troop withdrawal six months after "the other side" withdrew its forces, infiltration was ended and the level of violence had subsided. The point was designed to allay fears in other capitals that the U.S. has no intention of pulling out of Southeast Asia.

Her hallelujahs are triumphant in the Mozart motet and then shower forth brilliantly again in the Bach cantata, Jauchzet Gott in allen Landen...

Every relevant department of the city accepted the gift. I deposited over $800,000 with the city, as good faith, where it remained until recently without earning interest. I paid an architect fee of over $100,000 to Edward Stone...
