Harvard opened the scoring in the second period after Terry Trusty scooped up a fumble to end the first quarter. Quick blasts from backs Paul Connors (86 yards on the day) and Jon Hollingsworth moved the team to the Lion 25. St. John, who used the roll-out effectively all afternoon, advanced to the 20 on a keeper...
White House Years covers the period from Kissinger's summons to the White House as Richard Nixon's Assistant for National Security Affairs after the November 1968 election to the signing of the Viet Nam peace treaty in January 1973. A second volume, now being written, will recount the period to January 1977, during most of which Kissinger was Secretary of State. Of all the memoirs that have issued from public figures in the past decade, none can match this one, with its description of how foreign policy was made and diplomacy carried out in this supersonic...

Added Pravda: "All contentions about the arrival in Cuba of 'organized Soviet combat units' are totally groundless." The paper blamed the whole crisis on elements within the U.S. Government that were trying both...
...wealth may not bring stability and democracy in a developing country, as Americans have been inclined to believe, but may lead to instability and chaos. On this point, Kissinger candidly admits to lingering uncertainty about Iran: "In retrospect, it probably would have been wiser for us, in the period 1972-75, not to rely on the conviction that the rapid economic progress of Iran would produce greater stability of the Shah's government. It would have been wiser to recognize that in a society like that, economic development produces new classes and new groups that somehow have...
