...actress Kam Nelson, Seagren reached the heights early, when, as an undergraduate at the University of Southern California, he shattered N.C.A.A. and world pole-vaulting records. Still, nothing that he had ever done before came close to equaling his record-breaking leap in El Paso. He gives at least partial credit for that effort to a new pole he used that day, which was developed by Herbert Jenks, a fiber-glass expert from Carson City, Nev.

Douglas filed a partial dissent because two of the three children had not been consulted for their own views...
...North Vietnamese determination not to cave in under the accelerated bombing and the government's willingness to settle for less than a totally Communist regime in Saigon. He reported North Viet Nam's claim that it is clearing mines from the Haiphong harbor entrance and restoring partial ship traffic in the port (the White House not only denied it, but accused the Times of "being a conduit of enemy propaganda"). Conversations in Hanoi led Lewis to write that the North Vietnamese feel Americans misunderstand them, a fact that explains something about the agonized U.S. experience in Viet...
