Mincing Machine. In the current political climate, it is questionable how long Johnson can maintain his more-of-the-same stance. Certainly, he has the resources to outlast Ho Chi Minh, whose industries and agriculture are under intense pressure from the bombing. Indeed, some officials wonder that Ho has not taken stock and simply called off the war. If he did, the U.S. might pull out so rapidly that the Communists could take over at their convenience-and it is highly doubtful that any U.S. Administration would ever send troops back to challenge them...

A far-left group wants West Berlin to become a neutral "bridge" between East and West, while others maintain that West Berlin must remain committed to the West for protection.

They are sustained, too, by a mother cult-complete with sepulchral candles and antiphonal responses-in which one sensitive girl plays Sibyl for her siblings, delivering utterances from...
Twenty-one years ago Griswold became Dean at a critical point in the School's history. It was immediately after the war, and the School faced great challenges and great changes. The law at Harvard required a leader to guide it into the new era and to maintain the tradition of greatness in teaching and thinking which had made Harvard Law School the preeminent legal academy in the English speaking world. Dean James Landis had resigned in confusing and unhappy circumstances. The lawyers at Harvard required a friend to help them in healing painful wounds...
