...week's end, however, there was at least a faint ray of hope. A new truce -arranged by President Hafez Assad of Syria, Palestine Liberation Organization Leader Yasser Arafat and Lebanese Premier Rashid Karami-seemed to be making some headway. In parts of Beirut, Christians and Moslems tore down barricades and gun emplacements and were aided by army bulldozers. But elsewhere in the capital, the combatants continued exchanging gunfire. The week's senseless violence had taken 100 lives, raising the death toll since April to more than 2,500, and had devastated even more of Beirut, turning...

In almost every city and hamlet, Americans can see that the politicians who went to Washington now talk and act like men in a different nation from their fellow politicians who stayed back home.

When he was campaigning for the presidency in 1968, the agency secretly opened a letter that he received from Ray Price, a speechwriter traveling in Moscow; the contents dealt only with Nixon's election prospects. Idaho's Frank Church, chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, disclosed last week that the Nixon letter was one of many thousands that were illegally photographed and filed away from 1952 to 1973, when the program was stopped on orders from former CIA Director James Schlesinger, now Secretary...
