Same Pendulum. For the past year, three institutions have been principally responsible for formulating Viet Nam policy: the Tuesday Lunch Group that Abrams sat in on last week; the Thursday Group, including C.I.A. Boss Helms, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Wheeler, Nitze, and several others who meet regularly in Under Secretary of State Nicholas deB. Katzenbach's office; and the Eleven O'Clock Group, mostly lower-level officials assigned to draft the policymakers' decisions. Among all these officials, few supported the bombing of the North up to the end. The swing man, inclined first one way, then...
Manhattan's latest watering hole is hidden away in the basement of the Sherry-Netherland Hotel behind a heavy wooden door with only a discreet brass name plate to identify it.

He has a lawyer's pernickety eye for the fine print in legislation, has often voted against bills that he co-sponsored because they were diluted by minor amendments to which he objected. But while he impresses voters with his seriousness, integrity and knowledge, he also bores them with...
...Netherlands ranks second, with $1.4 billion, partly because of its shares in the Anglo-Dutch companies, Unilever and Shell. Following a trend toward joint venture, chemical-making DSM and PPG Industries (formerly Pittsburgh Plate Glass) are building a $20 million plant in Augusta, Ga., to make caprolactam, a nylon ingredient...
