...hold on the middle ground rather than take dramatic positions on one side or the other. From all appearances, he is following the politics of zigzag, giving way on one point to gain on another. His surrender on the Knowles appointment, for instance, was motivated in part by the need for conservative votes on the surtax and the anti-ballistic-missile system. There was much talk last week that he was moving to the right. Most of it was premature. When one of the President's top aides was asked whether the Administration was swinging to the right...
Newcombe feels that he might need to be Superman when he meets top-seeded Rod Laver in the finals tonight. Laver, who has won the tournament four of the past five years, wore down Rosewall relentlessly last night, 6-3, 5-7, 6-2, 6-3, Newcombe will have his hands full...
...course, if the director, Louis Criss, should require any defense, he need only point to no less a name than Emerson--consistency is the bugaboo of little minds, and Criss will have none of it.

Reinforcement experts answer that they have yet to see such "symptom substitution" in their patients...
...Southeast Asia after a Viet Nam settlement. But he also discovers encouraging developments that look to the inevitable day when, he feels, both the U.S. and China will play a smaller role in Southeast Asia. Born partly from that realization is a growing awareness among Asian nations of the need to look to their own resources and cultivate independence. Strongly non-Communist countries show symptoms of being able to adjust to Communism without becoming politically subverted or emotionally unstrung. Singapore, Thailand and the Philippines, for example, have extended welcome to trade, cultural and tourist delegations from the Soviet Union...
