...things are changing," Republican Leader Hugh Scott told his Senate colleagues not long ago. "And we are changing with them. Omnia mutantur, et nos mutamur in illis." Right on, Senator Scott! Congress may be changing, but at what a pace. About as often as the planet Pluto swings around the sun, Congress does indeed bestir itself, examines the archaic rules by which it conducts the nation's business and gently blows away some of the accumulated dust of more than 180 years. But never enough to disturb one tradition -the hallowed rule of seniority-that has often prevented Congress...
...major address, Hungarian Party Leader János Kádár reassured the Russian guests that his country would remain Moscow's loyal ally. Hungary, he said, "rejected all forms of anti-Soviet attitudes." Kádár also has no intention of frightening the Russians by allowing, as the Czechoslovaks did, the emergence of press and artistic freedom and the growth of a political opposition. Nonetheless, he has sanctioned an easing of the political climate by encouraging nonparty members to run for office under the auspices of the Communist Party...
...Five years ago, he rippled off Mozart sonatas and Beethoven concertos in a smooth, glassy style, as opposed to the passionate, warmly phrased playing of the late Artur Schnabel, Van Cliburn, even Daniel's friend Vladimir Ashkenazy.

But his approach has deepened to provide brilliant moments, poetic tone painting...
There are many people in Geneva who are not students at Hobart College, but individuals known as residents, taxpayers, voters, etc. As a person raised in Geneva, I was taught by its schools and in our home that capturing police cars and police officers were no-nos and that there were things called laws against that sort of thing. I wonder how many of the some 17,000 people who choose to make their home in Geneva wonder if there isn't a separate group of laws applying to Hobart College...
...Nixon took the country-and Congress-by complete surprise in sending thousands of U.S. troops across the border. The expeditions to destroy North Viet Nam's military sanctuaries in Cambodia were officially tagged by the Army Operation Total Victory No. 42 and No. 43. Operations Total Victory Nos. 1 through 41 had taken place over the past 18 months-with results the country knew only too well. After his cautious policy of steady disengagement from Viet Nam, Nixon suddenly raised the specter of a wider war, with military, diplomatic and domestic political consequences that could be momentous...
