...Illusions. The break in the ice left some U.S. officials notably cool. After Kosygin announced a nine-point program to halt the nuclear-arms race, one Washington official declared: "Most of that stuff is old garbage. It's a propaganda cover for the fact that their position is not formulated." Indeed, Kosygin's prospectus did have a ring of familiarity. Its major proposals -for limitations on the production of nuclear weapons and delivery systems, and restrictions on the movement of nuclear-armed bombers and missile-launching submarines-have been made before, but never came close to being implemented...
...safe. Among them are the assumptions that Humphrey will be Nixon's opponent, that the Paris peace talks will not have made dramatic progress, which could boost Humphrey's prospects, and that ghetto unrest will not flare into disastrous rioting. Given these qualifications, here is how the race for November figures...
...this a matter of concern to the G.O.P. is the latest Gallup estimate that regular Republicans now constitute a scant 27% of the U.S. electorate, while Democrats claim 46% and independents 27%.

On the other hand, it must be remembered the six extermination camps where most victims met their deaths were not located in Germany but in Poland and the administration of the camps was in the hands of the SS, which kept its activities a closely guarded secret...
...whittling of empire or sag in sterling seems able to weaken the national virus that makes Britons crave distant and sometimes eccentric adventure. Following a long line from Captain Bligh to Sir Francis Chichester, countless modern Englishmen still seek out high mountains or arctic wastes, race over deserts, relentlessly push through tropical jungles. The latest of that intrepid breed-and Britain's new nautical hero -tottered ashore at Portsmouth last week from the tubby 36-ft. yawl in which he had circled the globe alone. Seagoing Greengrocer Alec Rose, 59, declared: "This bug gets into one's blood...
