...nearly all U.S. troops will probably be out of combat before the November 1970 elections. Whether or not he can bring about that result, the President made one unassailable observation on television about his "plan for peace."

Kagan will present a preliminary report to the Faculty in December or February...
...quick flashes of pain or incredulity. Those things pass. A host of friendships do not, nor do memories of joint efforts to achieve many worthwhile ends. I beg license only to urge the Faculty, as it goes about reorganizing itself, not to ignore-as one problem among many-the matter of incentives for those it expects to serve it, at whatever level of administration...
