...Peking. Both Russia and China expressed routine outrage over the renewed bombing, but, as in May, their reaction was far short of apocalyptic. In a speech observing the 50th anniversary of the Soviet Union, Soviet Party Boss Leonid Brezhnev declared that better relations with the U.S. depend on a prompt settlement of the Viet Nam War. Criticism, in fact, was harsher in West European countries. In Paris, Le Monde compared the bombing to the Nazi destruction of Guernica in the Spanish Civil War. Britain's biggest newspaper, the Daily Mirror, commented: "The American resumption of the bombing of North...

Richardson has a self-protective knack of getting along with his superiors...
...seems evident that whatever the procedures undertaken in this morning's emergency, they are inadequate. Whether or not Mr. Pickering's life could have been saved by prompt arrival of capable medical help to require twenty-five minutes to get a doctor from Holyoke Center to Sever Hall is indefensible. As the Health Services prides itself on the quality and comprehensiveness of its services it is most disturbing that the UHS has not been able to fulfill its most crucial function the effective and efficient handling of emergency medical situations on campus.
