When Carter, moving at last into a more familiar Washington orbit, got the speechwriting help of such O.K. types as Columbia University Professor Zbigniew Brzezinski and Lawyer Cyrus Vance for a Chicago foreign policy address, Reston was strangely censorious: "He has made great progress by being dead honest, but in Chicago he was pretending, and if he pretends he may lose everything." Reston is usually more generous about politicians and notes that Lincoln, too, "did not argue the particular issues that divided the American people, but avoided these divisions and appealed to their common ideals...
While much of Bubbling Brown Sug ar is saturated with nostalgia, one girl in it, Vivian Reed, has the fresh, flaming force of a new comet entering the earth's orbit. Her movement is sinuous, her presence is magnetic, her voice is torchy. Sans Con Edison, she could light up a Broadway marquee...

In fact, ideological and tactical differences have sent at least a dozen Asian and European parties out of the Soviet orbit, and the Kremlin to day probably has less influence over the destiny of the international Communist movement than at any tune in history...
...must have doubled the amount of nitrogen oxides in the stratosphere at an altitude of about 25 miles over the polar regions, and thus depleted the ozone over these areas by an amount he calculated at 20%. There was a way of checking his theory. A Nimbus satellite, in orbit at the time, had been measuring the amount of ultraviolet light reflected from the earth's atmosphere. Because ozone absorbs ultraviolet, any decrease in ozone would result in an increase in the ultraviolet "seen" by the satellite. Sure enough, after months of analyzing data from the Nimbus, two NASA...
...Orbit. The real danger to Yugoslavia's future sovereignty, in Tito's view, looms not from within but from without. Belgrade shares with Washing ton and other Western governments a fear that the Kremlin will move to regain influence over Yugoslavia, which spun dramatically out of the Soviet or bit in 1948 when Tito rebelled against Stalin's dictates. This might well involve subversion of the post-Tito government by Russia's agents and even a Soviet army invasion of Yugoslavia...
