...Ambassador Arthur Goldberg's speech before the 22nd United Nations General Assembly last week proved something of a disappointment to those who for no particular reason expected it to outline a dramatic U.S. initiative on Viet Nam. There were no new proposals for Hanoi to mull, no offers of bold concessions by Washington. The speech was notable nonetheless for its carefully conciliatory tone, its two score references to peace, negotiations and the like, and its effort to present a thorough and thoroughly honest summary of the U.S. position...
...Bourguiba is still Tunisia's most popular man and the particular darling of Tunisian women, who revere him as their emancipator. By giving the doctrinaire radicals of his own Destourian Socialist Party just enough socialism, he has managed to curb most serious political opposition.

Similar woes afflict all too many of the nearly 300 large-scale planned communities and "new towns" that have sprung up across the U.S. Their troubles are a source of particular concern because architects and developers alike feel that the best of the projects could teach the whole country how to surround homes with a more pleasant environment. Moreover, planners consider new towns a promising antidote to the suburban sprawl. Such haphazard building, they say, could wreck the countryside as the U.S. doubles its stock of housing over the next 30 years...
...least part of Cesar's ire was occasioned by the fact that Richard Smith, 35, an Englishman who divides his time between New York and London, won the $10,000 grand prize. His particular bag is the shaped canvas, in which the aluminum frame is turned up at one corner to give the stretched canvas the smooth curve of a semi-bas-relief. There are six such squares of canvas, each painted in a light, bright acrylic color. The series bears the Beatlesque title, A Whole Year and Half Day, and seven of the nine critics on the international...
