...that Henry Kissinger could not win at the conference table. Nixon obviously felt that the Communists were stalling. On Dec. 14, after Kissinger left Paris, Nixon sent a cable to Hanoi. He warned that unless serious bargaining began within 72 hours, he would renew bombing north of the 20th parallel. When no reply came, he kept his word. The White House believes that the North Vietnamese knew the risk all along. On Dec. 3, the day before the last round of talks between Kissinger and Le Due Tho began, children were evacuated from Hanoi. Last week it was reported that...
...combat duty in the Air Force. As far as is known, only one of the eight-engine Stratofortresses had been lost to enemy fire. That was on Nov. 22, and the crew was able to parachute to safety in Thailand. The air war had been confined below the 20th parallel during the peace talks, and a ceasefire, seemingly imminent, promised to put an end to the bombing missions altogether. Now, in the space of a few days, the men had become among the most vulnerable in the military...
...from epileptic seizures-presumably a result of life with mother. The younger, ethereal offspring (Nell Potts) escapes into the world of scientific research.

In the South, where there are 15 ski resorts, young salesmen and account executives meet Atlanta college girls brushing up their parallel turns before heading for Aspen on semester break. Meanwhile, real estate developers in North Carolina are using ski hills as come-ons to sell lots for second homes. And near Milwaukee, executives of Continental Can Co. have proposed that the city build a ski area on a pile of pulverized...
...taking it up. New teaching methods have made it much simpler. Most important of them is the Graduated Length Method. A G.L.M. student starts out on skis as short as 2½ ft. and works up through increasingly longer ones as his skill improves. A beginner can do parallel turns after five hours of instruction, less than half the time required by older methods. At most areas where G.L.M. is taught, a skier can rent the graduated skis and buy five hours of lessons for less than $50-about the same as regular lessons...
