...believe we need to have a middle course. . . But what is the midpoint between Now and Forever? In mathematical terms, it is an absurd conception-dividing infinity in half yields infinity. Richard Nixon might consider Zeno's paradox: In perpetually moving half the distance between one's present position and an ultimate goal, one is condemned to never reach that goal...
Vance, one of the Johnson Administration's peace negotiators in Paris, calls "a standstill cease-fire." This would be an agreement that all military forces would freeze in present positions and assume a defensive stance. The plan would also guarantee the Communists de facto political control over the areas of South Viet Nam that they occupy and ultimately, perhaps, a chance to elect representatives to a national Parliament.

Peking has diplomatic relations with only 46 countries, and at present keeps ambassadors in 18 of them. During the Cultural Revolution, all but one of them were recalled to Peking...
