...much sooner if we can have a united front behind our very reasonable proposals." But Nixon did not convincingly explain how his course will achieve peace, or how an appeal issued in public for a façade of unity could possibly have much effect on the watching North Vietnamese. In any event, last week's outburst of criticism suggested that a united front on Viet Nam now is only a wishful thought...
...fine theory, and President Thieu supports it. The trouble with the theory is that whoever organizes elections in Viet Nam wins them. Hanoi cannot be expected to accept defeat at any elections the Thieu regime supervises-since the Communists are not defeated now. No doubt the North Vietnamese would like to get the war over with too, but they simply have not been hurt enough, as far as anyone can tell, to make them accept a settlement that they would regard as negating their achievements on the battlefield. One avenue that perhaps offers some hope is for elections organized...

Lindsay is the Manhattan man. The differences are major. A man in the outer boroughs may work in Manhattan, but he is no more a Manhattanite by temperament than is a citizen of Omaha. Manhattan is heavily populated by the East Side affluents, by poor blacks and Puerto Ricans...

Most disappointingly, he gave no definite clue that Russia was finally willing to begin talks with the U.S. on limiting strategic weapons. He even rejected Nixon's proposal to agree immediately to impose an embargo on arms shipments to the Middle East...
