Neither side gave an inch during Vance's 4½-hour meeting with French Foreign Minister Jean François-Poncet. French officials remained convinced that U.S. insistence on "punishing" the Soviets would only make Moscow dig in deeper. Explained one diplomat: "The European view is that we should retain the leverage to put pressure on the Soviets because we think there's still a chance of getting them to pull out of Afghanistan...
...time between research--focusing on United States-Philippine relations in the 20th century--and his teaching abilities. At Carleton, Stanley has been forced to abandon daily teaching for administrative work, but from what his associates say, he's made the adjustment perfectly. "I'm glad we got him," says Jean Phillips, associate dean of students. "He's a breath of fresh air." Stanley is responsible for a great deal of Carleton's daily functioning as well as for serious, long-term academic planning. "I'm a micro-Rosovsky," he explains, a teaching/scholarly dean whose primary responsibility is with the faculty...
...self-imposed deadlines for making a decision came and went. Lists of pros and cons littered Rather's Manhattan apartment. Before leaving for work last Wednesday he promised his wife Jean that he would make up his mind that day.

Radio station KTRH gave him time to improve, and while there, he met his future wife, Jean Goebel, who also worked for the station, as a secretary. In 1960 Rather joined KHOU-TV, the CBS affiliate in Houston, and a short time later literally reaped the whirlwind. As Hurricane Carla moved toward the Texas coast in September 1961, Rather took a remote unit to Galveston, where he organized...
...Danjack, 19, is a student at Columbia and frequently comes downtown to meet his father for lunch. Rather's schedule as a 60 Minutes regular keeps him in the air and on the road some eight months a year. Accustomed to long periods of time on her own, Jean Rather paints (several of her oils hang in the apartment), goes gallery and museum hopping and plays a fierce game of tennis (she can wipe her husband off the court...
