...security, stability and free political life has been restored to the war-torn country. Much the same applies to Hanoi's demand for "the peaceful reunification" of North and South Viet Nam. The U.S. concedes that this "should be determined through free decision" of both peoples-the key phrase being "free decision." The U.S. would want a genuine vote both in the South and in the North (which, of course, has never had a free vote under Communist rule). Hanoi would want a plebiscite engineered and dominated by the Communists...
Charles de Gaulle has a contemptuous phrase for the Cabinet-shuffling by which French governments were once formed: "the sterile games of yesterday." Thus it seemed somehow odd for De Gaulle himself to be indulging in that sort of thing. All last week, in a process familiar during the days of the Fourth Republic, official black Citroëns shuttled to and from the beige stone prime-ministerial residence on the Rue de Grenelle bearing nervously hopeful politicians to discuss posts in a new Cabinet. De Gaulle, operating through his faithful Premier, Georges Pompidou, was at work selecting a Cabinet...
Human Tide. The phrase is characteristic of both the emotion and the viewpoint of this new book in which Author Tuchman sets out to "discover the quality of the world from which the Great War came"-whose guns she set thundering memorably in Guns of August two years ago.

In this sequel, she tells her story with cool...
Chances are, however, that philosophy will learn to coexist with science and (in Mortimer Adler's phrase) reach its delayed maturity, provided it resolutely insists on being a separate discipline dealing publicly and intelligibly in first-order questions. Caution is bound to remain. Instead of one-man systems, philosophy in the future will probably consist of a dialogue of many thinkers, each seeking to explore to the fullest one aspect of a common problem. Says Oxford's James Urmson, a visiting professor at the University of Michigan: "It is just like Galileo experimenting with little balls on inclined...
Bowled Over. Lara, in Pasternak's phrase, was "unequaled in spiritual beauty-martyred, stubborn, extravagant, crazy, irresponsible, adored." Besides, during the film she must range in age from 17 to 40. When Lean tested Julie Christie, 24, for Lara, he had seen her only in Billy Liar-in which by simply walking wordlessly down a street she made cinema history. Asked to fly to Madrid for a screen test, Julie figured, "They must be off their nuts," went mainly for the free holiday...
