Thomas Schelling, professor of Economics, will address the conference on "Deterrence, Disarmament, or Arms Control." The other Faculty members, who will speak at seminars, are Lous B.

...five years since he last drank, everyone holds his breath until the errant priest refuses a proffered sherry. Between them, Charlie Carmody and Father Kennedy divide The Edge of Sadness, but do not dominate it. In his first book since The Last Hurrah, Novelist O'Connor signs countless lOUs on his people and plot, and redeems disappointingly...
...Saved-Up lOUs. Judge Smith's defeat was the combined work of Texas' Speaker Sam Rayburn, 79, no liberal, and Missouri's Richard Boiling, 44, leader of the House's "pragmatic liberals" (so called to distinguish them from the "bomb-throwing liberals" like California's Jimmy Roosevelt).

The lOUs are vividly charted on a large wall map of the U.S. in the Austin headquarters of Larry Jones, a former Texas assistant attorney general, who quit his job three months ago to prepare the Johnson-for-President campaign. The map is covered with red pins in every state and cranny of the nation-each one representing a politician or politicians who can be mustered to the Johnson colors when the trumpet blows...
