...lurch. Feminism said to her, men are pigs, Liberons-nous, and she agreed. Analysis said, the language of the male world, the language by which you have defined yourself, is stuck in orbit in your head, and she agreed. Feminism said, you mean stuck like an enemy outpost, dig it out or shoot it down. Analysis said, not so easy, remember how guilty you tend to get, you'll punish yourself, you know--and how she knew. So she dilly-dallies. She draws a bead on the old need, she stiffens, she throws a tantrum of self-doubt, runs...
...from the Cambodian frontier. Since then the province has been cut off from the rest of the country except by air. Most of the fighting has focused north of Gia Nghia, the dingy province capital. Some 4,000 North Vietnamese are entrenched near by at Bu Prang, an advance outpost lost by the South Vietnamese at a cost of 150 killed and missing...

He means that his ministry−mostly to foreign students, many of them drug users−is easygoing, not lapel-grabbing. This is a wise policy, since Afghanistan...
...world's problems seemed far away as Henry Kissinger sat at a small table outside his San Clemente office. The sun was bright, the air cool and clear. Flowers ringed the small patio, and beyond the immaculate lawn lay the blue Pacific. From this tranquil outpost, the world looked peaceful. Watergate seemed manageable, the Congress friendly, and the press tame. But Kissinger's strength is that he knows all this is deceptive. The real world is not so idyllic, and Kissinger wants to get back into the real world as fast...
