...Wisconsin's Warren Knowles, 60, who was not favored to retain the governorship following a divorce earlier this year, managed to trounce Democrat Bronson LaFollette, 32, heir to a grand old Badger State name, but a man of little political experience. New Mexico's David Cargo, 39, barely squeaked past Democrat Fabian Chavez in a down-to-the-wire race. On the other hand, such Democrats as Missouri's Warren Hearnes, 45, North Dakota's William L. Guy, 49, Utah's Calvin Rampton, 54, and Kansas' Robert Docking, 43, all won re-election handily...
...seemed unwarranted. From most of the world's capitals, including Moscow, came only praise for the President's action. More important, as a silent signal of Hanoi's acceptance of the U.S. offer, the battlefields of South Viet Nam, which have been relatively quiet for the past month, became almost totally still. Then, to Washington's dismay, the U.S. peace initiative foundered on the obduracy of its principal allies, the South Vietnamese. As a result, last week's scheduled session in Paris, when the broadened peace talks were to have begun, was canceled. The impasse...
After noting down the best items, the group trooped off in search of other bars and other public lavatories. It was a typical field trip for Anthropology 2675-2, "Graffiti: Past and Present," which Reisner teaches at Manhattan's New School for Social Research.

It is a twilight means of communication between the anonymous man and the world...
Quite apart from Cobb's impressive achievement, the Lincoln Center King Lear is distinguished by a supporting cast that truly supports. A rarity in the past, the players' acting rapport is a tribute to the skill of Director Gerald Freedman. Philip Bosco's Kent is a beautifully modulated performance with a Gielgud-like delivery of the Shakespearean line. Rene Auberjonois as the Fool is a supple mime of wisdom and Stephen Elliott's Gloucester is a man of probity incarnate, woefully abused. Barbette Tweed's Cordelia is appropriately sweet and good; Patricia Elliott as Regan and Marilyn Lightstone as Goneril...
...Chicago project symbolizes today's expanding effort by both government and private enterprise to reach the long-elusive goal of providing good low-cost dwellings for the nation's poor and near poor. Over the past three decades, Washington has poured some $6.5 billion into housing subsidies and urban renewal, committed at least another $13 billion as yet unspent to the same controversial programs. Yet one recent White House report estimated that 8,300,000 Americans still cannot afford a decent place to live...
