RICHARD NIXON cannot be called a hawk on the Viet Nam war. He wants the U.S. out, and he would prefer to bargain toward the exit rather than fight his way there. He has begun to reduce the American force level in Viet Nam. In May the President put forward a conciliatory negotiating position, inviting the Communists to discuss it seriously. Yet the impasse and killing continue. If presidential ferocity is not to blame, perhaps a kind of optimism...
...since 1965. Most attend all-black schools. The schools and their physical facilities are no longer unequal to those used by white children. But the education is, since segregation denies black children the opportunity to mix with whites.

The rebate has to come from somewhere if it doesn't come from higher prices. You can't have a superlative store and fixturing. $5-an-hour sales people, maintain discount prices, provide a lot of service in the form of special orders and still expect...
