...Yale Law School class, edited the Law Journal, won an Order of the Coif (he was Phi Beta Kappa from his home-state University of Nebraska), and is still considered by two former deans to rank among the finest students in Yale history. In private practice he was a partner in Manhattan's Lord, Day & Lord for more than 20 years (resigning only to become Attorney General), and an expert in corporation law. He is the first to admit that he is essentially a counselor, an office lawyer; he has never tried a case in court...
What were the Russians up to? In a series of blustering notes, they had just warned one NATO partner after another that they would make cemeteries of their countries in case of war. Their propaganda around the world was just as relentlessly condemnatory of the U.S. as ever, just as persistent in talking large and loosely about abolishing nuclear weapons. Only inside the Bath stone solemnity of London's Lancaster House were they talking with some precision on the subject. One possibility, though not probability, is that the Russians mean business. But there are other possibilities. They...
...Bermuda meeting with President Eisenhower, Macmillan got Britain back on speaking terms with the U.S., while simultaneously making clear that if Britain accepted the role of junior partner, it was a junior partner with a mind of its own.

Another student was apparently faced with the same social problem. "Dammit," came his anguished answer from across the floor, "say 'ouch!'" Sooner or later, every man in the class learns for himself. "One day a guy's a woman, the next a man," explains Brock. Just so his students can tell the difference...
...other areas. Under its deal ENI would advance $22 million for exploration costs, get nothing if oil was not found. If oil was found, it would pay the Iranian government half of all the profits, then give half of what remained to the National Iranian Oil Co. as its partner. The 75-25 profits split was so onesided against ENI that even some in the Iranian government suspected ENI's motive was publicity, to make Italy seem generous in demanding only a 60-40 split for concessions in her country. For some time Italy and Iran both have been...
