Though last week's high point will not interfere with the already scheduled withdrawal of 25,000 troops this month, it may upset President Nixon's plans to pull out a total of perhaps 100,000 by year's end. The Administration has said that further withdrawals will depend partly on a decrease in the level of fighting. Thus, Hanoi's decision to intensify the fighting may well prompt a slowdown in the U.S. reduction of forces...
...though, the press does help. "You people have kept us on our toes," she said. "Every once in a while, we get angry and we get mad, and this mad anger we wake up with sustains us through the day. We've reached a breaking point many times, but I'm controlling myself for my husband and he's controlling himself for me. It's holding us together."

One is to move closer to his children in Palo Alto, Calif. The second is to visit once...
Carswell's further discussion of the O.A. is quite to the point--he himself realize its superiority to any E., however A. His illustration includes one of the key "Wake Up the Grader" phrases--"It is absurb." What force! What fall! What fun! "Ridiculous," "hopeless," nonsense," on the one hand; "doubtless," "obvious," "unquestionable," on the other, will have the same effect. A hint of nostalgic, anti-academic langour at his stage may well match the grader's own mood: "It seems more than obvious to one entangled in the petty quibbles of contemporary. Medievalists--at times indeed, approaching the ludicrous...
