...word letter to Democratic Senator J. William Fulbright, warning that the Arkansan's "unjust" criticism of the U.S. war effort was grist for Hanoi's propaganda mills and inviting him to Saigon-which he has yet to visit. Fulbright, however, seemed fully occupied in Washington with the latest round in the hearings on Viet Nam before his Senate Foreign Relations Committee. The sessions followed a familiar pattern. Retired General James Gavin, who last year urged the U.S. to retreat into coastal enclaves, now urged an unconditional halt to the bombing. Historian Henry Steele Commager accused...
Endangered Majority. Publicly, the Gaullists profess to be unworried about the outcome. Privately, however, they concede that their majority is in danger. If the latest public opinion polls are any guide, France's next Assembly may be split fairly evenly between Gaullist and leftist Deputies, with the Center Catholics of Lecanuet holding the balance of power.

This is nothing new to electronic composers, but employing such methods in a pop song is electrifying. At present, the Beatles are giving up tours and personal appearances, plan instead to devote...
...promotions will probably continue to hold a prominent place in the Bulletin, however, for Bethell is a very conservative reformer. His changes are mostly matters of presentation; much of the magazine's manner and content retain the tone of cultivated nostalgia that one expects to find there. The latest issue carries a full page picture of the last day of all-male study in Lamont, fringed with a mournful black border and captioned "Sic Transit Gloria Viri." Bethell like his predecessors pounds out for every issue an anonymous column of donnish humor called "The College Pump...
