...Nixon and his advisers, the ideal answer is "mutuality." Under this approach, the negotiators in Paris would work out a reciprocal and, if possible, concurrent withdrawal plan satisfactory to North Viet Nam and the U.S. alike. The Administration is banking-perhaps too optimistically-on Hanoi's having a growing desire for peace. As the Air Force had it, the massive U.S. bombardment of North Viet Nam would crack that nation's morale. It achieved the opposite result: by putting everyone in the front lines, the bombing created a spirit of defiance. But, as the theory goes, without...
...never before been offered quite so explicitly by an Arab leader. In a talk to Washington's National Press Club, Hussein promised Israel guarantees of free passage through the Suez Canal and the Red Sea's Gulf of Aqaba as part of a six-point Arab plan for settlement. Since only Egypt's President Gamal Abdel Nasser could deliver on that particular promise, Hussein was clearly speaking for Egypt as well as Jordan.

...Issues. It is little wonder that most Frenchmen are unenthusiastic about the referendum. The text itself, which runs for 14 turgid pages, is enough to drive most voters away. Furthermore, the referendum demands a single answer on three totally different issues. One of them is De Gaulle's plan to decentralize French bureaucracy by taking much administrative power away from officials in Paris and giving it to the provinces. In pursuit of this goal, De Gaulle wants to consolidate France's 95 departments into 21 "economic regions" that will have their own legislatures...
