...State Planning Commission, Ćerník is highly suited to the task of supervising the top-priority overhaul of the economy envisioned by Dubček, even though some liberals feel that he has dragged his feet on past reforms. Ćerník accepts the prospect of democratic procedures, said after his nomination that he fully expects that the Czechoslovak National Assembly "will sometimes make it hot for the government." The Assembly must now approve Ćerník's new government as well as the entire action program...
...future-oriented theologians who feel that the church, in large parts of the world, is entering a stage of Diaspora-when, like Judaism, it will survive in the form of a scattered few, the hidden remnant. Strangely enough, there are any number of Christians who rejoice at this prospect rather than fear it. This is not because they want to see the fainthearted and the half convinced drift away into unbelief. Rather, they prefer that the choice of being Christian once again become openly, as Kierkegaard puts it, a leap of faith, an adult decision to serve...
...does not? Obviously, what has been stopped may be started again, perhaps with greater intensity. It is difficult to see how Ho could accept that prospect with equanimity, in view of the destruction that has already been wrought.

Exactly what inducements Nixon might offer at the bargaining table are unstated. It could hardly be otherwise. Even if the status of the war next year could be predicted, it would be foolish, his aides point out, to get locked into a bargaining position now. "I don't have...
Rockefeller's decision to "reiterate unequivocally" his noncandidacy jolted not only his own staff, which was gearing for a vigorous campaign, but the entire American electorate. Nixonites, naturally, whooped with joy at the prospect of an unimpeded road to the nomination (see following story). McCarthyites invited Republican doubters to join their camp. The G.O.P.'s moderate wing drooped visibly. "Now we've had two ships shot out from under us," said New York's Senator Jacob Javits. Gov ernor Tom McCall of Oregon expressed "deep disappointment." In his state, Rocky backers had gathered 50,000 signatures...
