Congress, where the quiescent antiwar forces had begun to attack again, was impressed with Nixon's flexibility. Senator Jacob Javits, who the week before had angrily dismissed Nixon's earlier policy as "sterile," called the new statement "a real step on the road to peace."

My Side of the Mountain may be as delightful as Walden but it is plainly as fantastic as Snow White...
...those close to Ethel and to the life she has reconstructed regard her with something approaching awe. She has, they contend, emerged in many ways as the most remarkable member of her remarkable family. New York's Senator Jacob Javits describes her with absolute conviction as "the greatest of the Kennedys, male or female...
