...THAT key clause of the nuclear nonproliferation treaty expresses what is still barely even a dream. For more than 20 years, the threat of nuclear annihilation has hung over the world, and the nightmare remains undiminished. Quoting a Chinese proverb, John Kennedy said of the 1963 test-ban treaty: "A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step." Last week the U.S. Senate took another step, voting 83-15 to approve NPT-a pact that would forbid all signatory nations that are not already nuclear powers from using atomic energy for anything but peaceful purposes.

Muted Voice. One by one, in fact, Nixon is putting his own men into the key jobs. Two significant appointments made last week: General Andrew Goodpaster, 54, will become Supreme Allied Commander in Europe, replacing General Lyman Lemnitzer, 69, who has been head of NATO's military forces for more than six years. An old and trusted Nixon friend, Goodpaster was an unofficial White House chief of staff during the Eisenhower presidency and one of that Administration's most influential -if least visible-figures. That experience, and his easy relationship with Nixon, should serve the general well...
...that it could easily swallow up an army." The Chinese side of the Ussuri is heavily forested; timbered hills sweep down to the river swamps for most of its length.

Beside the railway runs what the Japanese occupiers used to call "the Stalin Highway," a road built in 1938 in imitation of Hitler's Autobahnen...
...gradually extending a blackout of neon signs, house lights and auto headlights. Since blackouts are tactically obsolete in an age of electronic detection instruments, the objective seemed to be to bring home to Cairenes the possibility that they might be bombed. All Nile bridges, train stations, telegraph offices and key installations are protected by guards in sandbagged redoubts. Brick blast walls have been built in front of thousands of doorways. MIG-21s make practice scrambles over the city and on the ground are protected by concrete revetments against a surprise attack like the one that wiped out Egypt...
...vehemence with which Communist troops tried to take Landing Zone Grant indicated to some that they desperately wanted to reopen the infiltration route that leads toward Saigon. Other reports also suggested that key enemy units -including the elite 7th NVA Division and the 9th VC Division, which had taken part in every recent attack on the capital-were moving out of their sanctuaries and toward Saigon. Did that mean the offensive was about to enter a new phase of heavy fighting? Intelligence experts could not be certain. Some captured evidence pointed strongly to just that-as did a fresh shower...
